What is the list of things that I put on section 4028 and how do I word them?

  Written by Marc   Posted 3 July 2014

I need to know what do I list as my home expenses under the section 4028 and after putting the amount on the tax return do I submit the receipts as well as the list of the things on the list ? When they say the space, do I take measurements of the room I work in and divided by the whole house? Maintenance does that including the cleaner, gardener expenses as well. I have to connect through 3G which the company does not compensate, can I include that as network connection expenses?

SARS says I don't have to submit a tax return because I earn under R350 000

  Written by Marc   Posted 2 July 2014

I just got an email from SARS that said unless I earn over R350 000 a year I don't have to submit a tax return this year.

Is this correct? Wasn't the income threshold a LOT lower last year, like R70,000? My income certainly doesn't exceed R350000 per year, but I still want to declare my expenses like medical and get my refund. Must I still submit below the threshold?

Confused over SOA for SARS

  Written by Marc   Posted 2 July 2014

I submitted my tax return 01/07/2014 and there was a negative balance of R7752.11 which meant a refund is due to me. The only part I added was my medical expenses that I pay myself every month. I am a strictly commission earner as well. Today I receive my assessed IT34 and it says Statement of account assessment -7752.11 and then Refunds 7752.11. Balance 0. What does this mean? Am I not due anything back?
