What is member's share of claims paid/



On the medical Aid Certificate, what is member's share of claims paid?

CPT payment on money held for 3rd party.



I have a parent whom gave me money a couple of years back to place in an investment in my name. Recently the entire investment was cashed out and transferred back to said parent. I now have been issued with and IT3(c) reflecting this. My questions are as follows:

1) Though it is not stated on the IT3(c), do I need to pay CPT on the proceeds (SARS code 4205)?
2) If I need to pay CPT, as this money did not belong to me (though the investment was in my name, I did not derive any benefit from it), is there a way in which the CPT can reflect against the party whom the money belonged to?...

How does "Interest on underpayment of prov tax" work?



I've done my 2012 tax return only now and I see the original assessment is R14,693.15. Now another item that is listed is:

Interest on underpayment of prov tax. Section 89quat(2) 2012 to the amount of R3,884.46.

I just want to know is that value correct, and how is that calculated. I guess it is that "high" because of this part in that section?:

"... Such interest being calculated from the effective date in relation to the said year until the date of assessment of such normal tax. "...

Help! SARS has just informed that I need to submit a 2008 Tax Return



Good day,

Over the past three weeks, I have been in contact with SARS telephonically regarding a refund due to me for the 2015 Tax Year. I have just been informed that SARS has upgraded their system and I now need to submit a Tax Return for 2008 before they will pay the refund.

Does Pension Lump Sum Income get added to Normal Income for determining tax liability?



Do you get taxed twice when withdrawing early before age 65 from a pension fund? So the first tax is when the tax directive is issued by SARS, and then the second when you complete your tax return and declare the lump sum payout as an income. Does this pension lump sum income get added to your normal income to increase your total income when determining tax liability?

Can SARS go back on their policy even though dyslexia is clearly on their list of disabilities?



In my 2014 tax return I submitted all sorts of forms proving that my daughter is dyslexic and has to attend an expensive school which accommodates her learning disability.

Rectify a 2009 tax return. No IRP5s



I was told that I had a 2009 tax return outstanding. The issue is that the company I worked for (Production company) never provided me with an IRP5. 6 years later and they still haven't and probably never will. I only had two jobs (TV adverts), and I earned under R15 000 and around R4000 in PAYE. I have the slips of what I earned, but no IRP5 for either job. I know one of the companies was reported to SARS fraud. What steps can I take to rectify this situation?

Hi

please advice.. An auditor phoned me this morning to submit a 3 year bank statement for supporting documents since I submitted tax returns for 2013,2014 and 2015. The problem im facing is that a 3 year bankstatement costs R1800... Ive already given them a 1 year bank statement.
