Tax refund query - Maternity

Posted 19 November 2014

I had to pay back my salary that was paid while on maternity leave (due to resigning). Can I claim back from Sars? I did not receive any money from UIF.

Did you pay tax on this amount before?

Yes, it was my salary that I received while on maternity leave. After I returned to work I found another job so had to repay the salary I received. I did not receive any money from UIF.

There is a question under Other Deductions which speaks of refunding to your employer, you can put the amount there.
