Interest on late refund from SARS?

  Written by Marc   Posted 12 November 2014

In response to your blog entry "What?%u20AC%u2122s the delay with getting my SARS Refund?". When and how does SARS become liable to pay interest on late refund payments? Surely there must be a mechanism to keep SARS honest when it comes to keeping our money and delaying our refunds?

CGT on primary residence that was also rented out

  Written by Marc   Posted 11 November 2014

I lived in a property for a number of years, then rented it out for a few more years after that, and I have now sold the property. It appears that CGT is only applicable to the pro-rata portion of the time that the property was rented out - thanks for the blogs and answers to previous questions on your site I was able to figure that one out. My problem is how to capture this in efiling. Do I pro-rata the base cost and proceeds and enter the reduced amounts? Or do I tick that it is a gain in lieu...

Does the money reflected on the e Filing site as a refund the same amount a person should expect or will it still be assessed and you could receive less/more than that?

Need clarification on whether an ITA34 means they have concluded your review by SARS?

  Written by Marc   Posted 11 November 2014

I would just like clarity on this. I submitted my return, they asked for supporting docs, I gave my tax certificate of medical aid only and then was issued with a ITA34 which said said I was due a refund.I don't have an ITSA, should we get both? See below. What I am unclear of is the wording, it says the assessment has been concluded but then later on it talks about info not matching and a review. I have looked back on previous returns I have done and it said the same and I got the refunds with no hassle. Just want to know if this is final now or may they come back and request more info or can I expect a payment in the next few days?...

  Written by Marc   Posted 8 November 2014

I receive an average monthly salary of R25 000 for which PAYE is deducted at the rate given in the PAYE table.
However, I receive an extra R30 000 twice a year. For these two months PAYE is deducted at the rate given in the table as if I was earning R55 000 every month! Is this correct? Must the R30 000 payments be taxed at another rate?

How can SARS deduct R2500 from 7yrs ago (after a refund), and a further R2500 after I disputed it?

  Written by Marc   Posted 6 November 2014

Hi Tim. I have a major dispute going on with SARS as efiling didn't show that my return for 2007 was done manually. Being a new efiling user I was still learning the process. How can SARS be so inhumane when they have clearly made this service available to the common person and then charge us thousands for making a human error by clicking a wrong button. I submitted a return in error that should never have been submitted from 7 years ago (a year they rightfully refunded me I might add)... S...

I have completed my return with TaxTim. It's my first return. Before using TaxTim I did not register for eFiling with SARS. Did TaxTim register me for eFiling on my behalf?

Receiving misleading information from SARS regarding income tax return refund?

  Written by Marc   Posted 3 November 2014

Any idea on what is happening with income tax returns this year?? I have submitted my return early July, only to find out that I am being "audited". I have done the documents needed twice, had to do a dispute, got a return that the objection was allowed, and have subsequently been waiting for my refund since the 3rd of September.
