Do part-time workers with no fixed salaries qualify as temporary workers and tax refund?

  Written by Evan   Posted 6 August 2015

Good day. I am not formally employed. I only do part time work via an Agency (Labour broker) which then deducts tax money before paying me, per shift, on a weekly basis. I got a IRP5 form with a total income of ZAR 350,000 for the past financial year.

Am I a temporary tax payer?
Do I qualify for a tax refund?

Submitted supporting documentation.. what now?

  Written by Evan   Posted 6 August 2015

Hi Tim,

Firstly, I absolutely LOVE your website - it's put such a complicated system into an easy to understand format. Life saver tendencies :D!

I'm doing my own taxes (for the first time) via SARS eFiling and thanks to you the process has been rather easy. But I just need to double check on the following:

-I submitted supporting documentation. How long do I have to wait to receive my refund? I'm not being audited.
-Account statement shows a negative account balance (YAY) but what does 'aging transaction' mean?...

How long after you submitted your supporting doc's to sars,after they requested it, will they tell you if you are getting something back or not? And if you uploaded everything via efiling,how do you know if they have everything they need and is working on your return.

Insolvency with SARS?

SARS did not accept my tax return for refund this year. I disputed this and the dispute was disallowed for the following reason:

Medical Scheme Fees Tax Credit

  Written by Marc   Posted 4 August 2015

Good day,

I just want to make sure about the Medical Scheme Fees Tax Credit, source code 4116. My husband joined my medical scheme from July 2014, thus every month I pay for myself plus one dependent. In terms of section 6A (Medical scheme contributions tax credit), do I have a right to R257 tax credit per month for myself and for my husband? (Thus: (R257*12)myself + (R257*8)first dependent). On my completed IRP 5,from my previous employer, they only took myself into account for the medical scheme tax credit and not my dependent as well...

Correction on submission to SARS on individual return

My Fiance received a travel allowance last year, due to seeing patients at home, she submitted her tax return before putting in her car value along with her mileage that she needs to claim, and hence didn't get any rebate from SARS. Is there anyway in which we can ask for a correction on the tax return from SARS, or what should we do? I am sure she should be due a rebate.

Delays and confusion

  Written by Marc   Posted 3 August 2015

I submitted 1 July, immediately asked for docs, sent them through, then on 12 July asked for more docs, sent them through and since then no communication from SARS. Received an SOA indicating the refund amount a transaction reference and the date being 1 August. That's today but no completion letter. Have phoned several times and all they say is it's still in progress. No new notes or requirements. What is the meaning of all this?

Request for correction on VAT return

  Written by Marc   Posted 3 August 2015

I have discovered an error on a past VAT return (input tax amount was overstated) and did a "Request for Correction" on efiling. I changed the relevant amounts, resubmitted, and clicked "Pay Now" to pay the outstanding balance. However, the amount that came up was the full revised VAT payable amount, instead the full amount minus the amount originally paid. I then manually calculated the additional amount and paid only that, but am concerned that it seems like a discrepancy, even...
