IRP5 Return 2013

  Written by Marc   Posted 12 July 2013

I clicked on the dispute option when filing my taxes and now I cant file my tax return again?

  Written by Marc   Posted 12 July 2013

Good Day Tim,

Can you please help me. I acquired assistance from a friend when filing my taxes and they made a mistake with the amount and filed the tax return and instead of requesting correction I clicked on dispute and now I don't know how to correct this. I did send through my IRP5 but I received a letter stating No Retirement Annuity contributions ever claimed - no grounds for objection. I don't understand what I should do now.

Can I claim for med aid contributions that I pay for my mum ?

  Written by Marc   Posted 12 July 2013

I pay my mums medical aid contributions every month via debit order through my bank account. It will cost me more if I add her on as a dependant on my medical aid so I got her onto her own which she is the principal member. When filing my tax return, can I claim for this and do I add the tax certicate amount together with my medical aid tax certicate and put this in the column provided. I also pay my own medical aid for myself and 3 dependants. Must I also inform my employer who works on tax cre...

I was using your tax refund calculator I see that one can enter pension contributions (4001) but not provident fund contributions (4003). Why is this? I currently contribute towards a provident fund, what does this translate to tax wise?

  Written by Marc   Posted 11 July 2013

Good day, I have a very straight forward tax return: I have an income, I receive a monthly reimbursement towards medical expenses (my husbands company pays for my medical aid) This is added to my monthly income and taxed. I pay PAYE and UIF and my RA is deducted from my salary. I have never owed SARS money until this year. I cannot understand why I would owe SARS money now?

How will I know if SARS audit is complete?

  Written by Marc   Posted 11 July 2013

I have submitted tax returns for 2011, 2012 and 2013 to get it all up to date. 2013 was not audited and they owed me R3600. 2011 and 2012 I was also owed money, but had to submit supporting documents as they had doubled the medical aid amount for sum reason.

Using your Credit Card as an "income"

  Written by Marc   Posted 10 July 2013

Hi Tim

I was retrenched a while back, well actually left due to the fact I was not paid for 6 months none the less, I had no other choice but to use my credit card to pay my bills for a while. So I would draw money and do a cash deposit in my account for my debit orders to go off. Would this be seen as a income? and would this money be taxed? Further to that, failing to find a full time job I worked casual labour to get by, but I had help from family and friends depositing monies in ...
