Early retirement lump sum

How is tax calculated on on half-yearly payments?

  Written by Marc  

I receive an average monthly salary of R25 000 for which PAYE is deducted at the rate given in the PAYE table.
However, I receive an extra R30 000 twice a year. For these two months PAYE is deducted at the rate given in the table as if I was earning R55 000 every month! Is this correct? Must the R30 000 payments be taxed at another rate?

How can SARS deduct R2500 from 7yrs ago (after a refund), and a further R2500 after I disputed it?

  Written by Marc  

Hi Tim. I have a major dispute going on with SARS as efiling didn't show that my return for 2007 was done manually. Being a new efiling user I was still learning the process. How can SARS be so inhumane when they have clearly made this service available to the common person and then charge us thousands for making a human error by clicking a wrong button. I submitted a return in error that should never have been submitted from 7 years ago (a year they rightfully refunded me I might add)... S...

Where do I declare a secondary source of commission income in the ITR12 if the primary is on IRP5?

  Written by Marc  

I am an independent contractor operating out of a home office, and earned commission during the year from two sources, however only one of them deducted PAYE. That IRP5 is reflected on eFiling, however there is no section on the ITR12 to declare the second source of commission income. If I select the trade section of the ITR12 then I get a whole income statement to complete; if I do this must I include the IRP5 income as well? Also must I include all my expenses here or rather in the standard de...

Can I deduct bona-fide office rent paid against commission income?

  Written by Marc  

My employer requires me to maintain a home office/ study as they do not provide me with an office.

The majority of my income is from commission (more than 75%).
Can I deduct the rent paid to my in-laws for my office agai...
