I am a provisional tax payer and pay tax on the R10,000 she has been paying me monthly. Do I have to declare it on my tax? |

TaxTim says: 16 September 2015 at 16:39 Yes, you should declare it as an "amount considered non-taxable" It is a donation and therefore you won't need to pay tax on it. Donations tax is paid at 20% by the donor on amounts exceeding R100,000 per year. Therefore assuming your employer was a SA tax resident, if she gave any other gifts in addition to yours, she should be aware that she would need to pay donations tax at 20% on these amounts. |
