Written by Marc
Posted 28 October 2015
Hi TaxTim. When using capital to build or purchase a rental house, is this considered an investment of which the outlay of capital does not have to be declared in the tax year in which it was acquired? (I do not refer to the rental income or taxable portion of the rental income. ) Only in the event of selling the investment property would one then do the sums of proceeds of investment minus the base cost?

I'm a seasonal worker I've submitted my tax returns in August, was suppose to receive my first payment on the 1st of October but it was reversed because my tax cert indicates I've worked for 4 months in 2015 tax year, SARS requested that I submit an affidavit and I did all of that but since then haven't received any correspondence from SARS.
How long is it going take for them to reverse back my money to me? Or should I be worried there's more issues coming?
