Self-Employed Travel Expenses Deduction

  Written by Marc   Posted 7 December 2015

I am a urologist working in an 8-partner practice. We are a partnership, and income and expenses are shared equally. My only income is my share of income from the practice. I have always kept a log book for vehicle expenses incurred by myself in the course of my work and have in the past claimed back actual expenses incurred under "Other Deductions>Travel Expenses (no allowance - commision income)". I did this because each partner is responsible for his own travel expenses. As such, these expens...

  Written by Marc   Posted 7 December 2015

In my new job I am getting a CTC of which only income TAX will be deducted. Previously Medical Aid and Provident Fund was deducted from the CTC then the remainder taxed, as a result I paid less TAX.

How do I submit a late IRP5 for a previous tax year on SARS eFiling?

  Written by Marc   Posted 4 December 2015

I have submitted my tax return for this year but have been told they won't pay out until I submit my outstanding tax returns from last year (fair enough). I wasn't earning a salary for most of last year but I believe I still need to submit the IRP5 which covers the last month of my employment with my previous company from that year. I got hold of my previous company and they sent through the form really quickly but I can't figure out how to submit for a previous year on SARS eFiling. The SARS he...

I'm due for a refund but still owe SARS...

  Written by Marc   Posted 4 December 2015

I'm due for a refund but there's a 'hold-up' as I owe SARS something from 2009. I'm not sure what to do fro this point forward - where or how do I find out what is owed - how can SARS be owing me when I owe them - why weren't there red flags or bold flashing print popping up when I completed my annual tax returns?
It's like they're hiding the fact that I owe them and I've now probably encured some hefty penalties and interest... ;(

Provisional tax or starting a CC?

  Written by Marc   Posted 4 December 2015

I am currently employed by a company and earn a fixed monthly salary. I have however started manufacturing and selling goods in my private capacity, completely separate from my company. A typical order would be to the value of R20 000 (turnover), with a total cost-of-sale of R10 000, leaving me with R10 000 profit. I can receiver anywhere from three to twenty orders in a year, with no guarantee of regularity. I have two questions:

1. Do I need to register as a provisional tax payer, or would it be more tax-efficient to register as a sole proprietor or a cc, taking into account the administrative time and costs (paying an accountant etc. )?...

Cap on non-taxable pension fund lump sum withdrawal

  Written by Marc   Posted 2 December 2015

In the past tax year I worked for 3 companies. Got paid pension fund by 2 of those companies with total pension fund being below R20k
On the IRP5 from the company that paid outthe Pension fund there's a code 4 which I thought it meant this amount was not taxable( I understand it as meaning this amount will not add on to what I owe SARS). Submitted my tax returns and the SARS assesment has included the pension fund lump sum payment as what I owe SARS. Please advice if this is correct

Does provisional income/ capital gains count towards income iro RA contributions?

  Written by Marc   Posted 1 December 2015

I own a business and I draw a standard non- pensionable salary of R1 440 000 (120K p/m). I pay R360k (30k p/m)to an RA. Which means I actually don't earn enough to achieve the max tax destructibility for my RA. However this year for the first time I have other income from share sales (my share trading G&L statement currently reflects a gain of 264K). Will this income add to the non-pensionable salary above and thereby reduce the disallowed portion of the RA Contribution?

Medical rebate not given by SARS

  Written by Marc   Posted 1 December 2015

My company paid medical premium for me for the period 1st Mar 2014 to Feb 2015. For first half of the year it was with one medical vendor and then for the second year it was with a another medical vendor. I filed my IT tax returns on time. I got an additional assessment wherein SARS has not taken one medical vendor and I stand to lose out around R5000. How should I dispute and in the notice of objection form where do I fill the exact details as it is asking for source code?
