Treatmnet of taxable earnings refunded in clawback of maternity leave

  Written by Marc  

My question is around the treatment of the tax on maternity leave that is clawed back. Our company pays 4 months full pay while an employee is on maternity leave,but there is a clawback should the employee resign within 12 months of returning from maternity leave.

We calculate the clawback on a gross salary plus allowances and any benefit payments, eg: Basic pay, plus travel allowance, plus company paid medical aid, plus company paid provident fund, and deduct the sum of these from any outstanding money due to the employee. We deduct the total due as an advance and credit the cost centre accordingly....

What does "Return - Data Submitted to ITS" mean?

  Written by Marc  

Hi, my SARS status says "Return - Data Submitted To ITS" and has not changed since I submitted my assessment on 2014/09/07.

No one has asked for any documents or anything else, and I have not gotten any sms's from SARS as yet.

I did make a change to my assessment yesterday but reverted the change and saved again so the table with the Return Type, status, date, etc shows two records. One with a status of "Filed through eFiling" and the other with "Saved".

How do I know whether to deduct wear and tear or lease payments on travel claim against allowance

  Written by Marc  

I receive a vehicle allowance and use a hired purchased vehicle for business use and need to know how to choose between depreciation (wear & tear) or lease payment on Travel Claim Against Allowance.

I guess what I'm asking is whether SARS sees a hired purchase payment the same as a lease agreement payment.

May I choose between the greater of the two?
