Can I claim expenses on bond and transfer fees on investment property?

  Written by Evan   Posted 28 July 2015

My bond was registered for my investment property end April 2014. Please advise if I can claim under expenses incurred all of the bond and transfer fees amounting to R31,336. I called SARS contact centre and the lady advised that I am allowed to do so but from her tone of voice was not 100% certain. I have a reference number for the call whereby she agrees that I can claim as an expense. Please can you advise me as to what I should do?

  Written by Evan   Posted 28 July 2015

I am a non South African passport holder and have been working in Johannesburg on work permit from January 2014 till June 2015. I have left the country in June 2015.

Car allowance for not owned vehicle

  Written by Evan   Posted 28 July 2015

I am receiving a car allowance as I am using my own car and am a sales rep. The car is not in my name, it's in my brothers name, but I am paying him an amount of R3200.00 per month. SARS requested me to send them the lease agreement or similar in order to complete my audit, what can I sent to them?
I also entered the cost price on my SARS eFiling as R150000 instead of R105000, how do I get that corrected?

Company and private medical aid within the same tax year.

  Written by Evan   Posted 25 July 2015

I worked for different companies within the tax year. With one of them, I received no medical aid and so I did my own private medical aid. With the other, medical aid forms part of the company benefits and appears on my payslip. How does TaxTim allow me to enter both of these? The options only seem to allow for 1 or the other throughout the tax year.

Paying my Mother's medical aid

  Written by Evan   Posted 25 July 2015

I pay my Mother's medical aid premiums. These deduct from my savings account via a debit order every month. My Mother is fully dependent on myself financially (no income, no assets, nothing). She is 62 years of age. She is NOT disabled. She receives a SASSA grant. Her Medical aid is in her own name, and she is the main member. The reason she is not on my medical aid, is because my medical aid wanted to add a loading to her premium.

Can I claim this monthly premiums back from SARS?

Separating IRP5 related sales from income total

  Written by Evan   Posted 25 July 2015

I run a small business which sells research services. It's a sole prop, but when I'm contracted by university it generates an IRP5. In my income tax return, when it asks, after the question about the value of sales, if there is any income reflected on an IRP5, does that mean I shouldn't include the IRP5 income in my total sales figure? Also, where (and what rate) do I claim insurance for necessary equipment such as my car, computer, and phone?

Tax on share sales

  Written by Evan   Posted 25 July 2015

I have sold some shares, and made a small profit. Reading the rules around tax on shares, I have deemed it to be subject to Capital Gains tax, and not taxable income. Could you please advise where to declare it on my SARS e-filling, under local gain/loss?

I don't see a section where I can write a description or enter a source code. Do I need to declare this amount if it falls within the annual exclusion amount?

IRP5 missing for 2007

  Written by Evan   Posted 24 July 2015

I have been doing SARS eFiling since 2010 (first assessment submitted for 2009). My question is that SARS can not refund the payment due to me for my submitted 2015 assessment as my tax returns for 2007 and 2008 are still outstanding.

The company informed me that no IRP5's for that two years are still available. What do I do now? My income was less than R100 000 a year though - is there any way that I can submit a nil tax return? I can not indicate that I was unemployed for the years...
