If you work for only two months does it count as your yearly income?

  Written by Marc  

If you have worked only two months in the year (Jan and Feb 2014). And your employer deducted the full amount of PAYE as if you were working for the full 12 months, Will you be refunded the full amount of PAYE paid over to SARS as your Yearly income for 2014 is well below the threshold? Or does SARS allocate the income proportionately?

Refund gets reversed by your bank 3x and SARS then suddenly requestes for docs but not Audit?

  Written by Marc  

Hi TaxTim

I submitted my SARS return on 02/07/14. I requested a statement of account to see if I was selected for an audit and the answer was No.... even today when I request a new statement it says No. So what happened was, on the 3rd/4th and 5th of July 2014, FNB had technical problems, and they reversed all payments from any one that went to FNB accounts. With my luck - it was my SARS refund. So on Tuesday (the 7th of July) I received a message - request for supporting documents, ...

When I check the efiling status it shows a negative balance of R 37 000 and indicates that the ...

Retirement & Provident Withdrawal Tax Refund

  Written by Marc  

Good day, on the 25 January 2014 I changed employment and had a withdrawal from my previous employees Retirement and Provident funds of approximately R57200.00 each and I only got approx R42000 deposited in my bank on each. I was taxed on both payouts but does not seem like I am getting a refund on them. On my ITR12 I can see the one payout from Liberty (R57200.00 on source code 3920) but not the other and my issue is that my total rebate is only R 74.00. I really dont think this seems right?

Transfer from one retirement annuity fund to another - how to handle on efiling?

  Written by Marc  

During the 2013/2014 tax year I moved a retirement annuity from one fund to another. As part of this process the accumulated value in the "old" RA was paid over as a lump sum into the "new" RA.

As a result, the "old" fund issued me with an IT3a for the lump sum payout. This IT3a used code 3920 for the lump sum payout, with an additional code 4 indicating it is a tax exempt lump sum payment (there is also a tax directive number on the IT3a).

How do I handle this on eFiling when completing my income tax return?...
