Medical aid claims for wife that does not work, and kids
Posted 7 August 2015
I have a separate medical aid for my wife (married in community of property, also she does not work) and 3 kids which I pay for from my account. The tax certificate that we get from Discovery is on her name.
Can I claim this on my tax return and if yes, what supporting documents should I keep ready just in case SARS asks? I also have a separate medical aid for myself (reason for 2 medical aids is because of the costs).

Insolvency with SARS?
Posted 4 August 2015
SARS did not accept my tax return for refund this year. I disputed this and the dispute was disallowed for the following reason:

Correction on submission to SARS on individual return
Posted 4 August 2015
My Fiance received a travel allowance last year, due to seeing patients at home, she submitted her tax return before putting in her car value along with her mileage that she needs to claim, and hence didn't get any rebate from SARS. Is there anyway in which we can ask for a correction on the tax return from SARS, or what should we do? I am sure she should be due a rebate.

Does a courier service qualify as an independet contractor? What can be deducted from income earned
Posted 30 July 2015
I have a courier service company that is not registered yet. Does this qualify me to be regarded as an independent contractor?
Because my company is not registered, SARS advised that the company's income should be added to my salary income for tax purposes. Are there any deductions from the company that I can deduct when submitting my tax return to SARS?
Correction of IRP5 by employer
Posted 30 July 2015
The amount stated on my IRP5 for my Travel Allowance is wrong. My employer decreased my allowance without my knowledge and I've only picked up the error now. My employer says it's too late for them to correct it. I now can't claim the full amount of my travel expenses for the year.
Why can't my employer submit the correct figure to SARS and give me a new IRP5?

Medical Expense claim
Posted 29 July 2015
Hi. I am currently filling out my return. Regarding medical expenses not covered by my medical aid - do I have to have the receipts for these in order to claim.

Do I have to enter my IT3A certificates manually on my tax return?

Hi, I transferred my entire provident fund into a retirement fund & a preservation fund. I received 2 IT3A certificates from the administrator indicating the amounts sent to the fund groups.

Request for surporting docs, but all I have in an IRP5
Posted 29 July 2015
Thanks for an awesome blog!!!!! Its the first time that I submitted for a tax return. I completed it a few days ago for the last 5 yrs. It showed that a refund is due for 2013 and 2014, but for 2014 they want supporting docs. Since I have no medical aid, travel allowance etc I submitted my IRP5's - is this all I need to submit and what are the chances of the refund amount changing etc?
