Does SARS charge a penalty on the late submission of an income tax return with a refund

  Written by Marc   Posted 14 November 2014

Hi TaxTim,

This year was my first year of employment and as such I registered for tax. Additionally, I only received a salary for two months during the tax year (January and February). I therefore fall below the tax threshold and should receive a refund of the PAYE that was paid.

I am busy trying to register on e-Filing in order to submit my tax return on time (before the deadline of 21 November 2014). SARS has however requested that I go to the SARS branch to verify my banking details in order to successfully register me on e-Filing....

Depreciation Disallowed?

  Written by Marc   Posted 14 November 2014

On my previous ITA34 SARS said that the amount refundable to me was R-6153.46 (there was a depreciation value of R2533.00 for a laptop that I use for work purposes). Now I have received a new ITA34 assessment stating that I owe SARS R633.25. The statement says DEPRECIATION DISALLOWED.

I sent them the original purchase tax receipt for the laptop, was I supposed to send them something else? What must I do now?

IRP5 form reflecting less periods than worked, but correct remuneration.

  Written by Marc   Posted 14 November 2014

My company was acquired by 24.com halfway through last year.
On my IRP5 form it lists 4 periods since we were taken over, but only 6 periods for the time prior to that instead of 8 to make up the full 12 tax months that I was working for.

The remuneration is correct and reflects my payment for all 12 months, but with only 10 periods reflecting and not 12, I am nervous SARS will assume I am paid more monthly than I actually am and move me into a higher tax bracket or claim more tax from me? Please can you advise, I want to submit my IRP5 in time but not its financially detrimental to me and my other colleagues and payroll doesn't seem to know what's potting. ...
