How much money am I getting after the second assessment?

  Written by Marc   Posted 18 August 2015

After the second assessment SARS says "Your assessment has been concluded and reflects an amount refundable to you of -R2056. 00". And then: "the current balance on your assessed account is R331. 72"

What does this mean?

There has been a lot of assessments done and I am now confused with what is happening. Is there an amount that will be payable to me here?

Am I and independent Contractor or a Bookkeeper for tax purposes; can I deduct a pc course as an exp

  Written by Marc   Posted 18 August 2015

I am a bookkeeper for 2 entities with the same directors, but different company and tax numbers. I invoice a fixed fee per month, but split it based on the pro-rate turnover per entity. I work form my study although I also do visit their office especially certain periods during the month - ie mid-month for invoicing and month end to balance the books. Question: Does this mean I am an Independent Contractor? Is this applicable for the 80/20 split as an independent contractor? Do they have to deduct tax from me on a monthly basis?...

Medical aid tax credits on my ITR12

  Written by Marc   Posted 17 August 2015

Hi, I submitted documents for an audit. It has now been 24 working days and SARS can still not give me an answer. I was told to call back after 30 working days. My employer does not pay my medical aid, makes no contributions whatsoever, there is no tax credit for medical aid on my IRP5. Surely I am to be refunded as my tax was not adjusted to make provision for the tax credit. According to my IT34A I am to receive a refund, but was asked to submit documents as they have audited me.

My provisional tax paid to date totals more than my provisional earnings for tax year 2015.

  Written by Marc   Posted 17 August 2015

I have successfully completed my tax returns via SARS eFiling for several years. Reason for registering with your website is to get further advice on my provisional tax submissions (2015-1 / 2015-2) already made) and support with my salaried tax submission for 2015. I have already paid SARS two amounts totalling more than my provisional earnings for tax year 2015. So.. It's imperative that if I have overpaid SARS that I get this back when filing my tax return for 2015.

Tax bracket if work half year only

  Written by Marc   Posted 17 August 2015

If I only worked 6 months of a 12 year tax period, should my final tax bracket be based on actual taxable income for the year (e. G. R200k taxable income for 6 months at 25% marginal) or at what the tax bracket would have been, had I earned that salary for 12 months, which would have been R400k (i. E. At 35% marginal)? I paid PAYE on the basis that I earned that salary for a full year (higher tax bracket), multiplied by 6 month/ 12 months. Therefore I feel I have overpaid when I look at my taxab...

Is payment to a Provident fund tax deductable

  Written by Marc   Posted 14 August 2015

I have just registered, I tried to connect via SARS however I was told my bank account number was incorrect. We are now waiting for SARS to set up SARS eFiling for me. In the mean time, I am not sure what to enter regarding payment for a pension fund. I pay into a Provident fund so am not sure if this is tax deductible. Only reason I used TaxTim is so I don't have to physically go into SARS. I am hoping this is still the case.

Tax return assessed but no refund

  Written by Marc   Posted 14 August 2015

My tax assessment was completed and verified and an additional assessment issued. My SOA reflects I am owed a refund even tho the ITA34 shows an adjustment to the original. My SOA says not selected for further verification, that was on the 15th of July and to date have not heard anything further or received a letter of completion. What could the delays be? On SARS eFiling it shoes that my tax is assessed. Thanks

How do I know if I'm due for refund is it the amount displayed in the ITA34 that's due to me?

  Written by Marc   Posted 14 August 2015

I would like to know what the ITA34 is and the amount it shows is it the refund due or what because I have submitted my tax returns for all the years and it all shows R0. 00. And I would like to understand how SARS makes calculations because my tax return for a company I worked for 1 month gave me a refund and I was earning very less than I'm earning now in the company I've worked for for 4 years but the tax returns for this company I get no refund. Many thanks and I have been reading other peop...

My refund is very low and my medical aid costs is high why is this?

  Written by Marc   Posted 13 August 2015

I have submitted my tax return on SARS eFiling but the refund is way less then I expected as my medical aid cost was very high. Could Tax Tim help me to submit my tax again to see if the calculation is correct? Also SARS is auditing every one in my office who submitted their tax returns and no one has been paid yet is there a problem at SARS this year?
