eFiling: Relocated overseas, no South African bank account and not returning to South Africa

  Written by Marc   Posted 22 July 2014

I moved to Australia from South Africa in June 2014. I closed my bank accounts as I won't be returning to South Africa. I was studying full time during the 2014 financial year so my tax return is NIL.

My question is how do I fill in the bank account declaration section (on eFiling) since I no longer have a South African bank account? Do I update my details to "I don't have a local bank account" or do I keep my previous banking details on the form as I closed my bank account after the 2014 year end?...

Transfer from one retirement annuity fund to another - how to handle on efiling?

  Written by Marc   Posted 10 July 2014

During the 2013/2014 tax year I moved a retirement annuity from one fund to another. As part of this process the accumulated value in the "old" RA was paid over as a lump sum into the "new" RA.

As a result, the "old" fund issued me with an IT3a for the lump sum payout. This IT3a used code 3920 for the lump sum payout, with an additional code 4 indicating it is a tax exempt lump sum payment (there is also a tax directive number on the IT3a).

How do I handle this on eFiling when completing my income tax return?...

Tax on interest when abroad

  Written by Marc   Posted 7 July 2014

Regarding the residency question - If you earn interest(South African source) with no other income, spend more than 183 days out of the country, will that interest be subject to tax. Lets assume the interest earned is R250 000 for the year. If this isn't tax free, would the opposite be true where by the interest is from a foreign source yet you are resident in SA but do spend more than 183 days out of the country.
