Previous company did not forward IRP5 , now I am being penalized.

  Written by Marc   Posted 21 November 2014

I really hope that you can help me. I have incurred a penalty because my previous employer did not forward my IRP5 for this passed financial year and therefore I did not file for that job's IRP5. Is there anyway that I can resubmit with the additional form? I was owed a rebate but now with the penalty, that is no more, and also if it is possible to resubmit, will a once again receive a rebate?

I really hope that there is a way to rectify this.

What does "Return - Data Submitted to ITS" mean?

  Written by Marc   Posted 21 November 2014

Hi, my SARS status says "Return - Data Submitted To ITS" and has not changed since I submitted my assessment on 2014/09/07.

No one has asked for any documents or anything else, and I have not gotten any sms's from SARS as yet.

I did make a change to my assessment yesterday but reverted the change and saved again so the table with the Return Type, status, date, etc shows two records. One with a status of "Filed through eFiling" and the other with "Saved".

How do I know whether to deduct wear and tear or lease payments on travel claim against allowance

  Written by Marc   Posted 20 November 2014

I receive a vehicle allowance and use a hired purchased vehicle for business use and need to know how to choose between depreciation (wear & tear) or lease payment on Travel Claim Against Allowance.

I guess what I'm asking is whether SARS sees a hired purchase payment the same as a lease agreement payment.

May I choose between the greater of the two?
