First provisional tax payment - estimate

  Written by Marc   Posted 7 August 2015

Hi. My wife earned investment income and a salary last year. This year, she's now stayed at home with our daughter, and thus hasn't earned a salary - thus significantly less taxable income. For the first provisional tax payment, do I have to use the basic amount (i. E. Last year's taxable income) to calculate this payment? The payment will then end up being more than her annual tax is expected to be, as there is obviously no salary (and no corresponding PAYE). Or can I safely estimate a lower am...

  Written by Evan   Posted 7 August 2015

I have a separate medical aid for my wife (married in community of property, also she does not work) and 3 kids which I pay for from my account. The tax certificate that we get from Discovery is on her name.

Submitted supporting documentation.. what now?

  Written by Evan   Posted 6 August 2015

Hi Tim,

Firstly, I absolutely LOVE your website - it's put such a complicated system into an easy to understand format. Life saver tendencies :D!

I'm doing my own taxes (for the first time) via SARS eFiling and thanks to you the process has been rather easy. But I just need to double check on the following:

-I submitted supporting documentation. How long do I have to wait to receive my refund? I'm not being audited.
-Account statement shows a negative account balance (YAY) but what does 'aging transaction' mean?...
