We are married in community of property. How should we do the tax filing?

  Written by Evan   Posted 24 July 2015

We are married in community of property. We are both registered with SARS. We both do not work for a employer. We receive investment and rental income on the Husbands name.

Does the Husband report all the investment and rental income on his tax return or should it be split and then reported on the Husband and Wife's tax filing? If the investment and rental income is only reported on the Husbands tax filing what should be filed on the Wife's tax filing? Should both also pay Provisio...

IRP5 missing for 2007

  Written by Evan   Posted 24 July 2015

I have been doing SARS eFiling since 2010 (first assessment submitted for 2009). My question is that SARS can not refund the payment due to me for my submitted 2015 assessment as my tax returns for 2007 and 2008 are still outstanding.

The company informed me that no IRP5's for that two years are still available. What do I do now? My income was less than R100 000 a year though - is there any way that I can submit a nil tax return? I can not indicate that I was unemployed for the years...

I made a silly mistake :(

  Written by Evan   Posted 23 July 2015

Hi there TaxTim

I religiously file my tax returns every year and made a horrid mistake this year. I was due a refund from my 2015 tax return (did the return on 01/07/2015) and haven't received it as yet. After calling their call centre, I was told to complete my 2011 tax return. I did this and checked my 2010 and 2009 to ensure all information was correct, accurate and submitted. (I was thinking, chances are, they would tell me to submit 2010 and 2009 to process my refund after submitting 2011. )...
