Jointly owned rental property and non-mortgage interest.

Posted 11 December 2015

A rental property is jointly owned by two individuals. There is no registered bond over the property, however each part owner has contributed funds to purchase the property. Can a loan be created and interest charged on this loan to each of the owners and a corresponding interest deduction against the rental be claimed?

Do you have to pay CGT with your first provisional tax payment?

Posted 10 December 2015

We are completing our 1st provisional tax return for our property company, and because we have disposed of properties in the last 6 months, this has triggered a Capital Gain which is payable to SARS (we donâ%u20AC%u2122t have any assessed losses which we can utilise). Our question is quite simple. Do you have to pay over the CGT to SARS with the 1st provisional tax payment, or can you defer it to your 2nd provisional tax payment?

Ideally we would like to push this out by 6 months to...

Can I still query my statement of assessment after the tax returns deadline?

Posted 10 December 2015

I completed my first tax return via SARS eFiling early November (I have only been working for two years). After the SARS eFiling deadline, I checked to see my statement of assessment, and found it be by -20 cents. I am not sure if I filed correctly, but I was expecting a larger tax return. Is it too late for me to re-submit or correct my tax return, even though I initially completed it before the tax deadline?

Delay of refund due to audit and outstanding tax returns from 2005/2006

Posted 9 December 2015

I have enjoyed many years of good refunds from SARS. ( round about R30 000. 00 per tax year) This year I had an audit and they then issued a letter of completion but flagged my account for an outstanding tax return for 2005 and 2006. With great difficulty I managed to get a copy of 2005 IRP5 but could only get proof of salary for 2006. These years of income were very small and simple as there was only a small car allowance to factor in. I have subsequently been selected for audit again on these small tax returns. My questions are :...

Late submission of supporting documents

Posted 8 December 2015

I submitted a tax return on SARS eFiling. A letter requesting supporting docs was issued but I neglected to upload within specified time. An additional letter was issued 21 days later, when our practice was closed for the December holidays. Once the additional assessment was issued I only realised that the documents were never submitted. I uploaded the documents on the open link. The Sole Proprietor's expenses was denied against his income and now has a massive tax debt. During the year I submit...

Code 3901 on IRP5, no payment received nor entitled to receive

Posted 8 December 2015

My previous employer added an item to my IRP5, code 3901, for the amount of 134062. My reading of 3901 is for gratuity related to retrenchment, retirement or death. I did neither of the three, I simply resigned. Then of course, there was no such payment received by me, yet the employer claim there was. I cannot see how I can be expected to pay tax on something I did not receive nor did not qualify to receive. What to do now?

SARS audit again!

Posted 8 December 2015

I submitted my tax return for 2014/2015 tax years and they said I have to be audited until I bring an affidavit proving that I only worked for short periods during those tax years. I was unemployed so did 2 jobs of 4 months each. I went back the next day and submitted my affidavit. I got at sms saying I will only be refunded 31/01/2016 and the amount could change. Why would they audit me they can see I did not have any other work?

Self-Employed Travel Expenses Deduction

Posted 7 December 2015

I am a urologist working in an 8-partner practice. We are a partnership, and income and expenses are shared equally. My only income is my share of income from the practice. I have always kept a log book for vehicle expenses incurred by myself in the course of my work and have in the past claimed back actual expenses incurred under "Other Deductions>Travel Expenses (no allowance - commision income)". I did this because each partner is responsible for his own travel expenses. As such, these expens...

I'm due for a refund but still owe SARS...

Posted 4 December 2015

I'm due for a refund but there's a 'hold-up' as I owe SARS something from 2009. I'm not sure what to do fro this point forward - where or how do I find out what is owed - how can SARS be owing me when I owe them - why weren't there red flags or bold flashing print popping up when I completed my annual tax returns?
It's like they're hiding the fact that I owe them and I've now probably encured some hefty penalties and interest... ;(

Multiple IRP6 payments for a specific provisional tax period submission

Posted 3 December 2015

Is it advisable or unadvisable to make multiple payments on a specific IRP6 for a specific provisional tax period? I have underestimated my income for a specific period, and have already made a payment for the period concerned (this was due to a CG event as a result of a unit trust switch). I'm concerned that SARS will only allocate one of the payments to the provisional tax period in question, and that I may have problems getting additional payments I make allocated to my account.

Interest - file an objection or request a correction

Posted 3 December 2015

I have been requested to submit additional documents. Turns out that I hadn't included the interest earned (I wasn't aware that I had to do this)
After getting the certificates and checking I noticed there is a R200 difference on the amounts their assessment had and the total on the certificate. When I called SARS and spoke to the consultant she said I had to fill out an objection and submit with the documents. I started with that but noticed that the request a correction button is active. ...

Loan to Company to purchase goods

Posted 2 December 2015

I have a EME business and from time to time I use my private bank account to purchase items for orders I receive. When I then get paid by the customer I just transfer the money I loaned to the Business beck to my private account. Is that acceptable to SARS and what records must I keep?
