Will I get the balance back from SARS?

  Written by Marc   Posted 6 January 2016

I've only worked 4 months of the 2015 tax year. Am I correct in saying that one does not need to pay tax if the yearly income is less the R80 000. My earnings for the year before tax if R68 000. So am I correct in saying that if I don't work for the rest of the 2015 tax year, I will get the tax I paid to SARS back?

  Written by Marc   Posted 5 January 2016

I have submitted my tax return. Was audited and my car allowance claim excluded as they requested the purchase documentation for the car.

Can I invest more in a private RA if my company makes a contibution to a provident fund

  Written by Marc   Posted 30 December 2015

My company makes a 100% contribution to my provident fund, including all fees. On my salary slip, this is shown as a company contribution, and not as a deduction.

If so, how do I calculate...
