I am about to retire at age 60 years, with two main streams of income, i.e. proceeds from Provident Fund and retirement annuities which I plan on putting in a Living Annuity and discretionary(after tax) saving proceeds. I understand the income from the living annuity will be taxed at PAYE rates. How is the income from my discretionary savings taxed, in retirement, e.g. I invest the discretionary savings in unit trusts and take an annual income from that which I place in my Money Market account t...

I resigned from my job at the end of December 2013 so that I could study this year.

I work in Germany, am taxed in Germany (heavily it seems). What are my tax implications in South Africa?
Do we file a return in Germany & South Africa?
My husband has been working in Germany since the beginning of 2013, and myself since March 2014.
We are in Germany for the entire time (visiting SA for maybe 1 month to 6 weeks a year).
We also pay for medical aid, and related German funds (church tax, solidarity tax, retirement taxes, etc)
We both have an Retirement Annuity running in South Africa too. ...

I was born in SA 75 years ago. 1995 I became a US citizen. 2006 I opened a NON-RESIDENT ACCT with FNB CT and bought a flat. 2013 I renewed my ID Doc to do a 12 week job in CT and registered with SARS. My NON-RESIDENT ACCT changed to RESIDENT ACCT. 2013 I retired to CT for 9 months & in 2014 for 8 months, but annual visits before then were only 6 to 8 weeks. Do I automatically become a SA citizen for tax purposes because I registered with SARS and renewed my ID Doc? Does not my history...

I am 21 years old and I have recently started Trading on the Forex Market to try and help finance my studies. I've been trained very well and am doing pretty well on the platform.
The course the I am going to be studying costs R 35 000,00. The thing is I need to withdraw that amount and still keep about R 10 000,00 in the account in order to keep the account 'tradable'. As well as have some money on the side to help me get through the month for petrol and so on and so forth.
