TaxTim says: 9 July 2013 at 15:50 On your eFiling tax return you will need to include the amount earned under "other deductions" the s10(1)(o)(ii) - Can I claim a portion of my foreign income as exempt? Check the above link and see if it applies, if so you will have to submit supporting documents to SARS such as a contract from your employer stating the income earned and the periods out of the country so that the income can be exempt. |
International_rb says: 10 July 2013 at 8:20 Thanks Tim but my original question was: Why do I have an amount on my IRP5 under code 3698? |
TaxTim says: 10 July 2013 at 11:46 For the income you earned whilst working. All income earned is classified as either gross retirement or gross non-retirement funding employment income on your IRP5. These are just totals that SARS uses to calculate certain amounts. What source codes appear next to the income section -3601? |
