Home office, and tax expense deductions

  Written by Evan   Posted 23 July 2015

I have two questions:

1. Under what circumstances can one claim "home office" deductions (code 4028)? And what items can one claim?

2. What can one claim a deduction for under code 4043 "allowable accountancy expense"? (Eg. If a tax practitioner filed our tax return last year, would be able to claim that expense?)

Thank you!

May I deduct for depreciation on photographic equipment bought in 2010 now being used for work?

  Written by Evan   Posted 23 July 2015

I bought photographic equipment over a period since 2010, the last in February 2015. My previous employer supplied me with equipment to do my job, with the result that I was not allowed any tax deductions for wear-and-tear (depreciation). At my current employer I am using my own equipment on a base of about 60% for work and 40% for private use. Am I allowed to deduct in 2015 for equipment bought since 2010 until 2015?

How do you know SARS is done with Verification?

  Written by Evan   Posted 22 July 2015

Hi Tim

I have submitted 3 tax returns this tax season for assessment (2010, 2011 and 2015). SARS had selected me for verification for the 2010 and 2011 assessment years and I have consequently submitted the required documents for review via SARS eFiling.
