How to arrange a payment plan with SARS.

  Written by Nicci   Posted 28 January 2016

I started my business a few years ago, and the accounting firm that I appointed hardly made contact. As I'm not an accountant / bookkeeper / figure orientated wizard, but rather work with tools, I have no idea what is expected. A year ago I approached another bookkeeper and he ended up taking over my books from the previous firm. A month later I had to supply docs for my personal tax submission. I then found out that I owe SARS in excess of R40K, for some issue not resolved by previous firm, and...

What to do when disability & medical on ITR12 is not part of ITA34 and received letter of completion

  Written by Marc   Posted 27 January 2016

Hello TaxTim, for the tax year 2015 I completed my ITR12 through e-filing on the 26-11-2015, including my disability totals. The same day I received the ITA34 but not reflecting my disability & medical costs. I also received a letter to submit supporting documents the same day and did so on that same day.

Would I get the refund originally calculated after verification assessment is complete?

  Written by Marc   Posted 26 January 2016

When I submitted my tax return, I received an ITA34 informing me that I am due a R3 000 tax refund from SARS. Then I received a letter from SARS asking me for supporting documents, for verification assessment, which I had then submitted. Now I receive further correspondence regarding the verification assessment saying that "no adgustment has been made to the assessment". Does this mean I still get my R3 000 tax refund? And if so, by when can I expect payment of this refund?

Is SARS definition of 'taxable income' circular with respect to donations made?

  Written by Marc   Posted 26 January 2016

According to SARS, "Deductions in respect of donations to certain public benefit organisations are limited to 10% of taxable income (excluding retirement fund lump sums and severance benefits)". But taxable income is the difference between gross income and deductions, one of which is the amount donated. So the SARS definition is circular, and therefore impossible to calculate. Or am I missing something?
