  Written by Marc   Posted 17 July 2014

My place of work gives us an income protection policy. On SARS eFiling this is reflected under code 3808 however I have to manually enter it under code 4018.

Do I pay tax on my pension savings that were transferred to a preservation fund when I resigned?

  Written by Marc   Posted 14 July 2014

I resigned from my job late last year. Upon resignation, I transferred my pension fund savings into a preservation fund with the same company that held my pension fund. My tax return shows the entire amount of my pension fund as income under source code 3920 - Lump Sum Benefit. Why is this declared as income when I have not received the money? Does this mean I will be taxed on my preservation of my pension fund savings?

Retirement & Provident Withdrawal Tax Refund

  Written by Marc   Posted 10 July 2014

Good day, on the 25 January 2014 I changed employment and had a withdrawal from my previous employees Retirement and Provident funds of approximately R57200.00 each and I only got approx R42000 deposited in my bank on each. I was taxed on both payouts but does not seem like I am getting a refund on them. On my ITR12 I can see the one payout from Liberty (R57200.00 on source code 3920) but not the other and my issue is that my total rebate is only R 74.00. I really dont think this seems right?

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?...

Groupscheme cash payout included on tax return and supported by tool

  Written by Marc   Posted 8 July 2014

I belonged to a group scheme with my previous employer. I resigned mid last year. I requested the group scheme to pay out in cash subject to tax in order to use the amount to fund a business opportunity. This means tax was correctly calculated and paid to SARS when it paid out.

Should I also add the group scheme pay out on my tax return and will your tool assist me in completing the tax return correct?
