Where to enter medical costs incurred which does not reflect on IRP5

  Written by Evan  

On my Irp5 I have R5,911 under source code 4116 for medical scheme fees tax credit! I however have paid cash for some visits and this does not reflect as these were doctors not affiliated to medical schemes! How do I go about adding the amounts I spent and where do I add them and which source codes to use?

Review then audit. How long will this take?

  Written by Evan  

I submitted my e-filling yesterday, I was selected for a review I then requested a correction as I made a mistake. I have submitted all the documentation requested but now it seems I am being audited.

How do I declare additional income for part-time consulting work?

  Written by Evan  

Hi TaxTim, in the 2014/2015 tax year, I did some part-time consulting work in my personal capacity over and above my normal work. It was only R3000 for the year. I'm including it under "Local Business/Trade/Professional Services". If this is the correct section, would I need to put the R3000 under "Other income" or where should I be declaring this amount? Thanks for your help!

What is source code 4005 for?

  Written by Evan  

What does source code 4005 refer to?

Should there be amounts for source codes 4005 and 4006 if there are no employer contributions?

  Written by Evan  

I pay my own medical aid premiums every month, as well as contributing to my own retirement annuity. However, on my IRP5 from a former employer I do have amounts for source codes 4005 and 4006. I only worked for this particular employer for just over two months, and it appears that the full amounts for my medical aid and RA are included in this section of my IRP5.

Good day
My employer doesn't contribute to my medical aid, however under code 4005 on my IRP5 my medical contributions I paid in my personal capacity are shown. Is this correct? If not can I change it myself on IRP5 to R0 when doing my return and put that figure that appeared under 4005 to 4040?

Docs required for proof of profit on sale of house

  Written by Evan  

Hi Tim. I sold my primary residence and realised a profit of just over R1m on it. I know that the allowable deduction is R2m. Given my past experiences though, on the assumption that SARS wants to audit this transaction, what supplementary proof do I need (I have copies of confirmation of payment slips from my account). Would I need to show bank statements as well?
