My current employer underpaid my tax each month from June last year until Feb, now I owe SARS money

  Written by Marc   Posted 5 August 2015

My current employer underpaid my tax by not taking into consideration that I worked before I started the job here. Now I have to pay in approximately R1300 on my tax. I began my job here June 2014, I only started working full time Jan 2014 as I was studying prior to that. Can I hold my current employer accountable for this amount as they knew I was working prior to taking up my position here and never took that into consideration when paying PAYE for me?

Medical Scheme Fees Tax Credit

  Written by Marc   Posted 4 August 2015

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...
