Daniel says: 18 February 2016 at 8:32 From Sep '14 to Oct '15 I temporarily left the employ of my company to study my MBA full time overseas. During this time I rented my primary residence in South Africa out. (a) Am I able to deduct the losses on the rental of my primary property (rent - levies - interest on bond - rates) from my taxable income? (b) During the time I was away, I had to make use of savings to pay for living expenses (food, necessities, partial travel expenses, but NOT tuition, textbooks, accommodation, visa costs - which were all covered by scholarships). Am I able to deduct my (and my families) living expenses for the year from my taxable income? |
