What exchange rate to use on foreign dividend inclusion

  Written by Evan   Posted 15 September 2015

When calculating the Rand value of foreign dividends to be included into taxable income under s1, what exchange rate must be used if the dividends accrued over a period of a year? If I received 83.69 pounds over the year of assessment, is the amount converted to Rands at the average exchange rate over the year or at the exchange rate present on the 28th of February? The Act doesn't provide any clarity on this.

  Written by Marc   Posted 14 September 2015

This was the first year I've filed a tax return. But I have paying tax via my salary for 4 years.

Having been waiting a while for them to pay the money to my accounts. I decided to give them a call and ask what the hold up was.

How is tax on share options calculated after death?

  Written by Marc   Posted 14 September 2015

My dad passed away in Aug 2013 and had a bunch of share options that went into his estate. We sold the share options in Dec 2014, and the estate was wound up and distributed in Feb 2015. However, they taxed the share sale at the maximum tax rate. Should the share sale go into the 2013/2014 tax year when he died, or should it be in 2014/2015 as that's when the sale was actually made? Basically, I want to check if we can claim back the tax paid as it was his only earning in 2014/2015.
