Does Pension Lump Sum Income get added to Normal Income for determining tax liability?

  Written by Evan   Posted 3 September 2015

Do you get taxed twice when withdrawing early before age 65 from a pension fund? So the first tax is when the tax directive is issued by SARS, and then the second when you complete your tax return and declare the lump sum payout as an income. Does this pension lump sum income get added to your normal income to increase your total income when determining tax liability?

In my 2014 tax return I submitted all sorts of forms proving that my daughter is dyslexic and has to attend an expensive school which accommodates her learning disability. They accepted the paperwork and paid me back some of the school fees.

Taxes for a dormant company

  Written by Marc   Posted 3 September 2015

Sometime last year I registered a company, but it has basically been dormant and I only pay the -R60 into my FNB business account every month to cover the fees (and keep my balance in the black).

I am unsure about about the rules governing companies, do I still need to submit any forms to SARS (or anybody else for that matter)?
