How to reflect transfer of Pension Fund to Retirement Annuity on ITR12?

  Written by Marc   Posted 13 August 2013

Hello, Within the last tax year I changed jobs and in doing so had to transfer my pension fund from my former employer to my Retirement Annuity as my new employer does not offer a pension fund. On my ITR12 issued on e-filing I can see this lump sum pension fund amount reflected on a separate page with a directive number. Also I received a certificate from my Retirement Annuity institute reflecting my contributions for the tax year and this included the lump sum the I transferred.

  Written by Marc   Posted 13 August 2013

I have never filled in tax returns.

  Written by Marc   Posted 13 August 2013

Hi there,

Im looking to buy property later this year and my girlfriend says I need to start filling in tax returns. I have never done this before, always been sort of under the radar, but now starting to worry that I might get into some sort of trouble.

I do have a tax number, pay UIF and PAYE which all comes off my salary and I get my IRP5 forms yearly. I will be subscribing to TAXTIM to assist me from now on, but what if I somehow owe SARS a stack of money for never ever filling in the returns?...

R 7,000-00 once write off, what if 4 machines bought each at R 6,000-00 ?

  Written by Marc   Posted 11 August 2013

Hi Tim. Do I understand that the R 7,000-00 write value is a once write off for items less than R 7,000-00?

What is the situation then if I start my business with the simultaneous purchase of e.g. four lawn mowers at R 6,000-00 each. Total cost = R 24,000-00 but I may only write off a once R 7,000-00 ?

What then happens if six months later my business requires one additional lawn mower again at R 6,000-00, and e.g. two months a brush cutter at R 6,5000-00. What may then be written off, if anything?...

Hi Tim, I submitted my tax and was asked to submit supporting docs, which I did (with your help, thank you!). I got a phone call a couple of days ago with a query, which I answered. Then got an email the next day saying there is a letter requiring my attention. On the site, the IT34 letter just says that my assessment hasn't changed but they reserve their rights etc. I think under Status (on the right) it says something like, "awaiting completion". What I need to know is, what do I do with this...
