Do I enter the whole wear and tear value in my tax return or only the "official" part?

  Written by Evan   Posted 10 July 2015

When calculating the wear and tear on my car I take the original cash purchase price and divide that by 5. Do I then enter that value in my tax return (same as all other deductions) and SARS then automatically calculate the "official" part thereof from the kilometers I entered, or do I do the calculation myself and then enter the "official" part in the tax return?

Two IRP5 - why is refund lower?

  Written by Evan   Posted 10 July 2015

I have two IRP5s, when I submit each tax return individually my refundable amount on one is - R28000 on and -R24000 on the other. When I add them together my total refundable amount is -R18000?

SARS Refund is a large amount of money. Why and how?

  Written by Evan   Posted 10 July 2015

Hi

I just completed my tax return and my ITA34 (whatever it's called) showed an amount of R15 000 is refundable to me. Of course, SARS requested proof of documentation; I only uploaded my Retirement Tax Certificate and Medical Aid Tax Certificate - are there any other forms outstanding?

My question is: Why would I be (hopefully) receiving so much money? I started a new position (meaning higher salary and position upgrade) in September 2014 - could this have an impact?

Never claimed for a tax refund before, is it possible to get refunds for every year since I worked?

  Written by Evan   Posted 10 July 2015

I have never claimed for a tax refund ever since I started working, so I need clarity on whether I can claim for every year since I have been employed, I have all my IRP5's, and I'm not so sure if I will get a return on some of them. So I need to know if it is possible that I do not get a tax refund, I pay medical aid, UIF, Provident fund etc. I am actually afraid that I will pay you guys and not get anything in return. Your response will be highly appreciated. Thank You.

Must my penalty be paid before refund is due?

  Written by Evan   Posted 10 July 2015

Hi Tim. I submitted my tax return and contacted SARS where they confirmed that my audit has been finalized and I received the letter confirming this. My question is what will happen to the R579 penalty?

Some say my payment will be withheld. Some say SARS will deduct this from my refund, and some say its my responsibility to pay the penalty ASAP. Should SARS not deduct this from my refund for 2015? Please confirm what will actually happen.
