Taku says: 27 February 2013 at 16:53 HI Tim, Thanks a lot for the speedy response, I am very impressed with your service. For you to complete my returns I gather I would need to submit all that supporting documentation i.e. NPO/NPC certificate, medical aid certificate and any other documentation? If I am invested with a fund manager say Alan Gray or Coronation and dont have a pension is this an allowable deduction? Is your fee of 199 a flat fee i.e. not contingent on how much SARS pays out, if they pay out? Thanks. |

TaxTim says: 27 February 2013 at 17:01 Only a pleasure! The TaxTim service is even simpler than that, you go through the dialogue with Tim who asks you questions and based on those answers completes your tax return for you. After payment you are given guidelines on how to file your tax return with SARS. Your return won't tell you if you are allowed certain deductions or not, but by completing all the information relevant your taxes will be calculated accordingly. Once the return is submitted, this all gets worked out base on the information on the return. Investments in funds that are not for retirement purposes are not tax deductible, however the dividends and interest may be taxable as income. You have to complete that section of the dialogue with Tim. He will ask you for your IT3b/c from the fund. No documents need to be submitted though, unless asked for by SARS. Our fee is a once off, regardless of the amount SARS would refund you. |
