Battling to get 2008 IRP5 certificate from ex-employer.

  Written by Marc   Posted 1 October 2015

I am battling to get my IRP5 certificate for 2008 from an ex-employer and SARS is asking for it. At the time I did not submit the tax return because I recall that in that particular year if you earned under a certain annual income, you did not have to submit and therefore I did not. How can I remedy the situation? I have called SARS SARS eFiling help desk and we tried to see if the information would populate on SARS eFiling but it did not.

Capital gains

I just switched some of my unit trusts and made a capital gain of R33000. I figured there is tax applicable to this. But how does this affect my portfolio? Does the capital gain go back into the unit trust to make more money for me?

How do I submit 2007 return without documents?

  Written by Marc   Posted 30 September 2015

SARS is requesting that my husband submit a 2007 tax return. However, he was only working certain times during that tax period (as a freelance contractor) and has no IRP5. He contacted the company he worked for as well, and they have no record of a IRP5 as well. What do you advise him to do now if he has no documents for that tax period? He may be able to get a record of his retirement annuity contributions, but that is all.

Capital Gains Tax - capital growth before tax was implemented?

  Written by Marc   Posted 30 September 2015

I owned a piece of land. Acquired in 1998 for R60 000. The land was sold in 2014 (this tax year) for R300 000. The agent fee for selling was 5%. I know the Capital Gains Tax was only implemented after acquisition. Please advise whether the calculation for capital gains tax is able to take into account some appreciation in value between 1998 and the year when the tax came in.
