Sale of primary residence

  Written by Marc   Posted 11 November 2015

My question relates to the sale of my primary residence in 2014 that I owned with my former spouse. We sold it upon divorce and shared the proceeds 50/50 after paying off the bond and other debt. The purchase price of the house was R1 875 000,00, transfer duty R67 000, transfer fees R17 000. What is the base price that I should put down in my tax form?

How long does it take for SARS to refund funds ?

  Written by Marc   Posted 10 November 2015

IF the amount on the tax return show a - that means that you will receive funds, correct. My question is how long does it take, because when you call SARS call centre they said 6 working days. If it's not truth why say it.

Medical costs for operation not paid out by Medical Aid

  Written by Evan   Posted 10 November 2015

Hi I have a question regarding medical claims not paid by the medical aid. I had a c-section operation in 2014. The Doctor put in a claim of R13k and the medical aid made a payment from the scheme of R3K, leaving a balance of R10K. The amount for unpaid claims on the medical aid certificate for the 2014/2015 tax year is only approx R4K.

Should this R10K amount of the c-section be added to the medical claims not paid by the medical aid? Tax Code 4020 becomes R4K R10K = R14K. What abo...

Must I submit returns for previous years when I earned very little? (single income, no claims)

  Written by Marc   Posted 9 November 2015

After phoning SARS about an eFiling problem (presently 2015), I was told by the consultant that my tax return for 2013 was overdue. I responded that I hadn't been making anywhere near the tax threshold that year, and that various SARS website material, tax-consultants & SARS consultants over the years had confirmed as much (single source income, no med-aid, no R/A, no travel, no NPO-PBO donations, etc). He responded that everyone had to submit a tax return every year, regardless of how much they...

Lapses on cancelled policies

  Written by Evan   Posted 6 November 2015

I am at the part on my tax return which asks - Did you receive any money for work that you were taxed on, or money for restraint of trade, which you then had to give back to your employer? These are amounts refunded as per s11(nA) and s11(nB).

I am currently a financial adviser and we incur lapses on policies that were cancelled. This money is taken away from us. Do I use that amount here?

Do I submit returns for the years in between a full-time job where I studied and worked for myself?

  Written by Marc   Posted 6 November 2015

What happens if I started my first full-time job at the beginning of 2012 and submitted my tax return correctly (getting no refund, of course)... But then I quit the job in January 2013 and went back to study for the year of 2013? I assume I didn't have to submit for that year off? (I didn't). I then started freelancing and working for myself throughout 2014. Do I need to submit a tax return for 2014, even though as a freelancer I made less than the threshold?

Rental income In Community of Property split not recorded on IT34

  Written by Evan   Posted 5 November 2015

On my IT34 - for my rental income profit - SARS did not perform the 50-50 split for being married in community of property and so the full amount was used to calculate my tax owed. Would I file a dispute claim for this? It seems strange that last year SARS did the 50-50 split and this year they haven't.

Medical not included in salary

  Written by Marc   Posted 4 November 2015

For the last few years my employer didn't include their portion of my medical in my deductible salary, so there was no PAYE paid on it. I did receive my annual paybacks from SARS on the medical tax certificate I submit through our accountant. Now I owe SARS money and my employer is expecting me to pay it back. Am I liable for this even though it was not a mistake on my side?
