SARS refund payment period

  Written by Evan   Posted 8 July 2015

Good day,

I have submitted my tax return and SARS owes me a refund. About 4 days has passed so I contacted SARS and asked them what the reason is why my refund is being held back, they told me it is because I have not submitted my 2012 tax return, so I did. After I submitted my return for 2012 as well, I contacted them again and inquired if there is anything else that they need from me in order for me to receive my refund and they said no that everything is in order and that there is ...

Unsure about source codes 3697 and 3698

  Written by Evan   Posted 8 July 2015

If I have the below amounts on my IRP 5:

75,000. 00 - 3601
90,610. 00 - 3616

Would it fall under the following codes on my IRP 5 if the company does not deduct any retirement benefits bearing in mind that I was first a contractor from Mar - Aug.

75,000. 00 - 3697
90,610. 00 - 3698

Does these codes get taxed differently?

3810 = R 20,506
4474 = R 20,506

Claim for home expenses

If I use your service, will my fee paid to you be deducted to the return and is there a guarantee I will get paid back for the home expenses? I do have a receipt for my laptop and printer, including measurements of the office space which is separate from the house (attached to the garage). I pay a bond for the house, rates and services. I am not sure how to calculate other things like my garden and the helper fees.

Wear and tear allowance on sars code 3713

I received a laptop allowance on a monthly basis. Laptop belongs to me. This appears on my IRP5 under source code 3713. I received this over 3 years. Can I claim a wear and tear allowance against this income?

I'm confused if I should claim over 3 years or just a single year as I've read different responses online. Also what supporting docs would SARS require? Would the tax invoice of my laptop be sufficient? Thanks
