You may not always be entitled to a refund it would depend on the circumstances of each year, but you will definitely be able to submit. |

Lusanda says: 26 January 2013 at 21:42 Hi Tim I was finally able to find time to pay the revenue services offices a visit yesterday and submitted those outstanding IRP5's. I also managed to "clear" my so-called fine of 200 odd rands. Apparently, I had only mentioned myself as a member on my medical aid tax form. I explained to the consultant that it was a misunderstanding on my part - I was the only one using the medical aid; my daughter was not. Hence, noting one person on the form. I thought that that's what counts; calculating the "usage" as opposed to non usage. I found out that calculations are based on the actual monthly contributions, not the amount utilized. Well, now I know better. And will be receiving my refund within 21 days. *all smiles* Thank you for your blog and being ever so willing to respond to our questions. May God continue to bless you so that you can keep up the sterling work you do. Once again, thank you! |
