How many years of back-tax can you claim for?

  Written by Marc   Posted 20 May 2013

I've been working part-time, although it is practically full-time, for the past five years. The work pays 25% of my incoming salary to tax. As I understand it I can claim for a portion of this money back, but have failed to do so in the past years. I just want to know if I can claim for previous years worked as well and what I will need to claim this. I do have my IRP 5's from the years of 2010, 2011 and 2012, 2013 not being out yet. Please help!

If I do 183 or more and 60 cont. and get paid from a company abroad I am tax free so to speak?

False Vat Number?

Please can you offer some advise ...

Changing of banking details on my incom tax return?

  Written by Marc   Posted 14 May 2013

Just been introduced to your page and I realised that its so helpful. Thanks for the good webpage.

My worry is, is this going to affect the turn around time for SARS to process my returns. Should I request the change now before the return date or rather wait until July?

promise I won't do that!!), and my assessment comes back, I'm owed R120.56. The amount is so small because I actually already did all the calculations in order to make my third provisional payment by the September deadline, so as not to incur any interest....
