Tax on share options

  Written by Nicci   Posted 14 April 2016

On 1 March 2011 MaxBuild Ltd granted me an option to purchase 10 000 equity shares in the company for R75 each. The conditions attaching to the grant of the option were that I would not be entitled to dispose of the shares for five years or until I resign, whichever occurred first.

How can we claim bond interest from rental income when married out of COP?

  Written by Nicci   Posted 14 April 2016

My wife and I are married out of COP (ANC with accrual). My wife owns an unbonded property that she lets. This means she has a lease agreement with the tenants, although they pay their rent into my account. I own the property that we reside in, which is bonded. The nett effect is that we receive rental income and pay bond interest, albeit on different properties. I would like to be able to claim the bond interest from my wife's taxable income. In order to do so, I assume we need to take out ...

2016 delayed verification

  Written by Nicci   Posted 11 April 2016

I submitted my Tax tax returns at a SARS branch on the 25th of Feb. I was missing one document and supplied it to the branch the following day. My tax returns were triggered for verification, both the ladies who assisted me told me it takes up to 21 days, I called a few times with my case numbers and the call centre told me 60 days - this is ridiculous, as all the documents were supplied and I was not advised of this by the staff at the branch. What can I do about this?
