Can I be taxed less or refunded when I submit receipts of all my purchases?

Posted 9 April 2014

I'm told that if I keep the receipts of everything that I purchase, I can submit them to SARS and I don't have to be taxed too much or I can be refunded, is it true?

What purchases do you make? Are they for business? How do you earn your income?

You cannot claim personal expenses for tax purposes, the person who told you this was mistaken.
