Hi Tim. I work in Sierra Leone and get paid in dollars, into a SA bank account, how do I complete my



I comply with the regulations regarding 183 days out, 60 days consecutive. My question is where do I fill this in on my return. They want a rand value, and I do not have an IRP5 but one from the company.

You would need to convert at the SARS rates for the period you are out of the country, this can be found at :

Exchange Rates

You would then complete this income under the amounts considered not taxable section which will have a space for s10(1)(o)(ii)

Thank you. Do I need to add up the different rates for each consecutive month to reach the total given by the company

Yes you would convert the income received per month and then total it up.

Thanks Tim. last question.
On the first page do I click yes to question
did you receive any other income and/ or incur any other allowable expenses not addressed above.
Or just under foreign income
did you receive any foreign income apart from foreign interst and foreign dividends income and excluding foreign captal gains
