TaxTim says: 9 June 2015 at 20:59 Unfortunately not, these must be claimed by the person who benefits from the. However if the donations certificates are in his name then he can claim those. |
Tidalwave says: 11 June 2015 at 4:36 Thank you for the email. If I become employed in this financial year, can I claim the retirement annuity payments and charity payments for 2014/2015 in the 2015/2016 tax year. Does it not make a difference that we are married community of property? Thank you Tidalwave |
