Outstanding tax return is holding up my refund, I cannot get the IRP5 as employer is deceased.

  Written by Evan   Posted 20 July 2015

Hey Taxtim. I submitted my tax returns on the 10th of July this year. SARS informed me that I would get a refund of about R17000, which I desperately need. After a few days I called them to ask when I might receive this refund, they informed me that they are not going to give it to me yet as I have outstanding tax returns for 2012.

I did not have this issue last year when I filled or the previous year. I worked for a company from February 2011 until August 2011, I was never issued an IRP5 or any payslip. ...

Changed jobs and paid too much tax - can I claim it back?

  Written by Evan   Posted 20 July 2015

I had a low income job for 11 months of the year. My yearly income would have been under the threshold, so I never paid any tax. I am not sure if my employer registered me, but I never received any tax documents or tax number. In February 2015 I started a new job with a higher salary. My yearly salary now puts me above the threshold and my new employer registered me and I've been paying tax since Feb. But since I only did this job for 1 month of the last tax year, my yearly income for 2014/2015 tax year remains under the threshold of R70 700. ...

Non-resident doner & resident donee

My step father, is a non-resident and non-SA citizen, who never adopted me but is married out of community of property to my mother, is offering me a substantial gift as a result of a recent sale of part of his inherited estate, let's say 500k ZAR.

When is tax payable on a five year fixed deposit with interest on expiry?

  Written by Evan   Posted 20 July 2015

If you have a fixed deposit with interest on expiry after five years, when do you pay tax on the interest?

It seems that SARS is taxing it every year on what has accrued each year, but surely this causes a cash flow issue for the investor as you are having to pay tax on something you only get in five years time? If this is the case why would anyone take interest on expiry?

No IRP5 information for 2010

  Written by Evan   Posted 20 July 2015

After submitting my 2015 tax return and not getting any feedback from SARS, I called the call centre. They told me that my assessment is on hold until I submit my 2010 tax return. The problem with that is the company I worked for at that time liquidated in April of 2010 and did not submit their EMP501, thus no IRP5s were issued. There is no data in the 2010 tax return. How do I go about filing the tax return? I don't not have all the payslips for that period either.
