Jenny says: 15 February 2016 at 19:14 Hi there, was filing my tax return and got selected for verification. I think that it might be as a result of ticking the wrong boxes though - I receive a pension from overseas and interest on my Standard Bank account but I did tick the box for the IRP5/ IT3A saying that I got one such certificate. I then filled in the interest amount under Local Interest and noted the foreign pension under not taxable. Am I right in assuming that I should, in future not mark the IRP5/ IT3A box? (I always thought that the IT3B received from the bank was the same thing. ) |

Jenny says: 16 February 2016 at 9:56 No I only get a statement from them. The pension is from when I was still working and resident in Germany. I only immigrated to South Africa after I had retired. It is sent in Euros from Germany and I do pay tax on it there. |

TaxTim says: 16 February 2016 at 10:22 The pension will not be taxable in SA and therefore you can click no to the IRP5/IT3a box. |
