Building cost deduction

  Written by Marc   Posted 22 April 2013

I am a single parent trying to build a home for my family. The bond that I qualified for on my salary does not cover all expenses and I've had to pay for a lot of things out of my own pocket, such as R22 000 developers' fee for building on a plot, R17 500 getting electricity supplied to the plot, R15 000 getting sewerage connection to the plot, R5 500 for water to the plot. Can I claim for these expenses as a tax deduction?

I am registered as a taxpayer, but lost my job. Must I inform Sars?

  Written by Marc   Posted 18 April 2013

I was employed and earned enough to pay tax(PAYE), but in the beginning of this year I lost my job and I am now unemployed.

At this current moment I am studying again but I don't know? If I receive any money like pocket money am I still required to pay PAYE? Because I don't work, I am just studying and want to know what must I do to avoid the penalties and fines from SARS.

SARS does not want to take an IRP5 into account for my business, what next?

  Written by Marc   Posted 18 April 2013

This was all for the 2008 tax year.
Income tax return was submitted on 28 / 02 /2009.
Assessment notice issued on 11 / 03 /2009.
Amount owing R147 666.
But an IRP5 was also issued for 2008, tax deducted: R241 340. That meant that SARS owed R93 674.
But the assessment was paid in full in December 2012.

That means that SARS still has not taken the IRP5 into account.

An objection was done on 31 / 03 / 2009 on eFiling. But SARS said that they do not have proof of this objection as at that time no objections could be done on eFiling....

As a 65 year old you will entitled to your first R104 611 of taxable income to be tax free and a further R34 500 of interest.

So for example if your R1 000 000 attracts 10% p.a then the first R34 500 of the R100 000 interest will be tax free and the remaining R65 500 as it is below the tax threshold.
