Contracting Benefits vs Salary

  Written by Marc   Posted 23 December 2015

I am currently a salaried employee and I get deductions for:

- Retirement (RA)

I am considering contracting (to one client). Will my total monthly invoiced amount be taxed normally? I will have to pay for medical, travel and RA directly. Am I losing out or do I still claim for these somehow?

Can I still query my statement of assessment after the tax returns deadline?

  Written by Marc   Posted 10 December 2015

I completed my first tax return via SARS eFiling early November (I have only been working for two years). After the SARS eFiling deadline, I checked to see my statement of assessment, and found it be by -20 cents. I am not sure if I filed correctly, but I was expecting a larger tax return. Is it too late for me to re-submit or correct my tax return, even though I initially completed it before the tax deadline?

Delay of refund due to audit and outstanding tax returns from 2005/2006

  Written by Marc   Posted 9 December 2015

I have enjoyed many years of good refunds from SARS. ( round about R30 000. 00 per tax year) This year I had an audit and they then issued a letter of completion but flagged my account for an outstanding tax return for 2005 and 2006. With great difficulty I managed to get a copy of 2005 IRP5 but could only get proof of salary for 2006. These years of income were very small and simple as there was only a small car allowance to factor in. I have subsequently been selected for audit again on these small tax returns. My questions are :...

Code 3901 on IRP5, no payment received nor entitled to receive

  Written by Marc   Posted 8 December 2015

My previous employer added an item to my IRP5, code 3901, for the amount of 134062. My reading of 3901 is for gratuity related to retrenchment, retirement or death. I did neither of the three, I simply resigned. Then of course, there was no such payment received by me, yet the employer claim there was. I cannot see how I can be expected to pay tax on something I did not receive nor did not qualify to receive. What to do now?

Why would they audit me they can see I did not have any other work?

Self-Employed Travel Expenses Deduction

I am a urologist working in an 8-partner practice. We are a partnership, and income and expenses are shared equally. My only income is my share of income from the practice. I have always kept a log book for vehicle expenses incurred by myself in the course of my work and have in the past claimed back actual expenses incurred under "Other Deductions>Travel Expenses (no allowance - commision income)". I did this because each partner is responsible for his own travel expenses. As such, these expens...
