SARS did not accept my tax return for refund this year. I disputed this and the dispute was disallowed for the following reason:

2015 tax return to be submitted on the after insolvency number

What does that mean? Why am I not entitled to claim back on my car allowance as I have a detailed logbook for this.

Medical Scheme Fees Tax Credit

  Written by Marc  

Good day,

I just want to make sure about the Medical Scheme Fees Tax Credit, source code 4116. My husband joined my medical scheme from July 2014, thus every month I pay for myself plus one dependent. In terms of section 6A (Medical scheme contributions tax credit), do I have a right to R257 tax credit per month for myself and for my husband? (Thus: (R257*12)myself + (R257*8)first dependent). On my completed IRP 5,from my previous employer, they only took myself into account for the medical scheme tax credit and not my dependent as well...

Delays and confusion

Request for correction on VAT return

  Written by Marc  

I have discovered an error on a past VAT return (input tax amount was overstated) and did a "Request for Correction" on efiling. I changed the relevant amounts, resubmitted, and clicked "Pay Now" to pay the outstanding balance. However, the amount that came up was the full revised VAT payable amount, instead the full amount minus the amount originally paid.

PAYE payable calculation differences

  Written by Marc  

I would like to find out the PAYE payable on a person receiving R16636. 60 monthly, no pension fund or any other deduction except SDL, UIF and PAYE. This person is 74 years of age, turning 75 in November 2015. I calculated the amount to R1390. 87 but the system calculates it as R1067. 11. I cant seem to figure out why the calculation result differs. For the 2016 tax year.
