Can I claim for Medical Aid and Provident Fund contributions at the TAX year end?

  Written by Marc   Posted 7 December 2015

In my new job I am getting a CTC of which only income TAX will be deducted. Previously Medical Aid and Provident Fund was deducted from the CTC then the remainder taxed, as a result I paid less TAX. In the new job I will have to pay med aid and provident after my income has been TAXED. Will I am be able to claim at the TAX year end for this?

Will I be able to get the same amounts as if the amounts where being deducted from the CTC before being TAXED?

I'm due for a refund but still owe SARS...

  Written by Marc   Posted 4 December 2015

I'm due for a refund but there's a 'hold-up' as I owe SARS something from 2009. I'm not sure what to do fro this point forward - where or how do I find out what is owed - how can SARS be owing me when I owe them - why weren't there red flags or bold flashing print popping up when I completed my annual tax returns?
It's like they're hiding the fact that I owe them and I've now probably encured some hefty penalties and interest... ;(

What do I do?

Provisional tax or starting a CC?

  Written by Marc   Posted 4 December 2015

I am currently employed by a company and earn a fixed monthly salary. I have however started manufacturing and selling goods in my private capacity, completely separate from my company. A typical order would be to the value of R20 000 (turnover), with a total cost-of-sale of R10 000, leaving me with R10 000 profit. I can receiver anywhere from three to twenty orders in a year, with no guarantee of regularity. I have two questions:

1. Do I need to register as a provisional tax payer, or would it be more tax-efficient to register as a sole proprietor or a cc, taking into account the administrative time and costs (paying an accountant etc. )?...

Payment Periods

  Written by Marc   Posted 2 December 2015

With regard to Provisional Tax:When SARS refers to the periods 2016-01 and 2016-02 (see below) is SARS referring to the months i.

Does provisional income/ capital gains count towards income iro RA contributions?

  Written by Marc   Posted 1 December 2015

I own a business and I draw a standard non- pensionable salary of R1 440 000 (120K p/m). I pay R360k (30k p/m)to an RA. Which means I actually don't earn enough to achieve the max tax destructibility for my RA. However this year for the first time I have other income from share sales (my share trading G&L statement currently reflects a gain of 264K). Will this income add to the non-pensionable salary above and thereby reduce the disallowed portion of the RA Contribution?

Medical rebate not given by SARS

  Written by Marc   Posted 1 December 2015

My company paid medical premium for me for the period 1st Mar 2014 to Feb 2015.

Why is it taking so long to receive the pay out, is there something I missed ?
