Tax Refund for people on work permit leaving the country forever

  Written by Evan   Posted 28 July 2015

I am a non South African passport holder and have been working in Johannesburg on work permit from January 2014 till June 2015. I have left the country in June 2015. So my question is how do apply for a tax refund for the tax that was deducted in the months of April'15, May'15 and June 2015. The return would obviously be required to be filed now in the next year i. E. 2016. So is there any way that I could claim the refund now ?

PAYE deduction differs from tax tables

  Written by Evan   Posted 28 July 2015

Hi, I have been looking at my PAYE Deductions from my employer and comparing them to the published PAYE Tables from SARS for each relevant year. I even tried to use your tax calculator which also gave the me the SARS Taxtable PAYE deduction amount. I have noticed that in the Payslips we get generated from Pastel Payroll, the PAYE deductions are roughly R150-R220 higher than the same Taxable salary deduction amount according to the SARS Tax table. I know 150 odd Rand doesn't seem like much but ov...

Two employers. Do I have to register as a provisional tax payer?

  Written by Evan   Posted 28 July 2015

I receive an income from two employers. R10 000 from the one, who obviously deducts PAYE and R4500 from the other, who does not deduct PAYE, as the amount falls under the threshold.

Do I have to register as a provisional tax payer or can I register at the end of the year when assessments are due? I have never registered to file a tax return before, as my income has always been exempt from having to file tax returns. This will be my first time filing a tax return.

IRP5 banking details differ at SARS

  Written by Evan   Posted 28 July 2015

An employee in my department had his salary paid into his wife's bank account. Upon the entity providing him with his IRP 5, he stated that the HR department must have requested the information which he would like to have on his IRP 5, probably because now his registered details with SARS, (banking details), will not correspond to the details on his IRP5.

Is the onus not on the employee to provide the company with valid and correct banking details?
Or can the employee change t...

  Written by Evan   Posted 25 July 2015

She is 62 years of age. She is NOT disabled. She receives a SASSA grant. Her Medical aid is in her own name, and she is the main member. The reason she is not on my medical aid, is because my medical aid wanted to add a loading to her premium.
