Medical Tax Credit - does same rule apply to non medical aid taxpayers?

  Written by Marc   Posted 19 August 2013

Goodday, my question regards the Medical Tax Credit - everything I have read on it seems to apply to taxpayers that contribute to a medical aid scheme. Does the same rule apply for taxpayers who do not have a medical aid scheme but are trying to claim back medical expenses?

Tax on rental income, bond in two names.

  Written by Marc   Posted 19 August 2013

I am co-owner of a townhouse and we are in the process of letting it. I understand that we can offset certain expenses (of a non-capital nature) to the income, to alleviate tax paid thereon. But now there is still the question of how to "split" the income and expenditure between the two taxpayers in question? We are engaged and have a 50/50 interest in the townhouse and all costs and expenses are shared between the two of us at the same ratio. Please advise.

How to declare foreign salary on ITR12 form

  Written by Marc   Posted 19 August 2013

Hello Tim,

I earned a SA salary and lived in SA until September last year, afterwards I went back abroad/overseas to my home country and worked there. I already submitted my SARS ITR12 form and I did not mention my foreign earned salary income because it is already taxed abroad and I also could not find the section to add this amount on the ITR12 form. Now my ITR12 form is under verification and I have to submit all relevant forms. Does SARS need my foreign payment slips and do they need my foreign bank statement with the interests? I declared a few rands which I earned on my foreign bank account which is below the threshold...

Provisional Tax form completion for declaring Capital Gains

  Written by Marc   Posted 17 August 2013

I've cashed out my investment portfolio in May this year, in preparation for emigration, which will be completed in September this year. So I need to fill out a provisional tax declaration for capital gains, which comes to around R75k. I also haven't been in South Africa for the entire year - we moved overseas before the tax year started. So I haven't earned any income in South Africa to declare.

In the provisional tax income form, I fill out the R75k as "Gross/turn over", and have calculated the taxable income as R14k (R75k - R30k excluded amount for capital gains per year x 33.3% inclusion rate)....

Cell phone depreciation

I took out a 24 month cell phone contract at the end of January 2013 that I pay for on a monthly basis. My phone is used for business and personal purposes. I wish to write off my cell phone as a depreciation deduction (source code 4027). The cell phone handset is valued at around R6 799.
