Gisela says: 27 June 2015 at 12:19 July 2014-Feb 2015 I was a recruitment consultant. I did not receive a salary, I simply paid a R5000 desk cost per month, which I believe I can claim back for. In the 8 months, I only earned 3 amounts, all adding up to approximately R40 000. How do I submit a tax return- I had no salary, I can claim for desk cost and flights, and I earned very little? |
TaxTim says: 28 June 2015 at 12:16 Is this the only income you earned between March 2014 and Feb 2015? |
Gisela says: 28 June 2015 at 12:42 Yes. |
TaxTim says: 28 June 2015 at 13:36 Given that you earned below the tax threshold you do not need to file a return, however we do suggest you do nonetheless. You can complete the Local Business Income with these details of income and expenses and file, but no tax will be paid. |
Gisela says: 28 June 2015 at 18:43 Thank you. I was hoping there was a way to claim back for the R20000 spent on desk cost, and the R2500 on business related flights (meeting potential clients in JHB)... But I understand that this will not be possible. Thank you for your help! |
