SSF says: 23 November 2015 at 21:52 I earned income as the result of trade in financial derivates. I am not a professional trader and do this in my spare time. How do I declare this on the ITR12 and how do I claim expenses against this income? Is this defined as a business or as investing and capital gains? I used my home office and own equipment for financial research and online trading. In a previous answer you stated that this type of income can be declared on the ITR12 but somehow I missed it in the TaxTim Q&A process. When I tried to declare this on SARS e-filing, I was not sure about the source code. Please assist |

SARS will ask for supporting documents in which case you would need to send them a spreadsheet and breakdown of how you arrived at that figure. |
