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?

Should I fill in the amount contributed as per Medical tax certificate or leave it blank ( 4005)?

  Written by Marc   Posted 3 July 2014

hi, I have a medical aid and I am contributing directly , but my company paid for 1 month while I was on part time. When I became permanent I didn't want them to take over the medical aid, so in that way I own it not my company. Now I have to do my returns should I put in the amount I contributed on 4005 or should I leave it blank?

Can I claim tax back on medical expenses if my medical aid is partially subsidized by my Employer?

  Written by Marc   Posted 3 July 2014

I am currently employed and am ready to submit my tax return; however I have a question relating to medical expenses that were not covered by my medical aid. My medical aid is partially subsidized by my company, I contribute 40% and my employer contributes the remaining 60% towards the monthly contributions.

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?
