Tax exemption clause

  Written by Marc   Posted 11 April 2013

I understand the section 10(1)(o)(ii) about being outside a country for 183 days, of which 60 days must be consecutive in a 12 month cycle. My question however is: the company I work for is registered in SA and pays me in ZAR. But I travel outside South African borders for more than 183 days and for a 60 day continuous stint also...so, am I still exempt from tax then? Or do I have to pay tax as I get paid in ZAR and the company is registered in South Africa?

  Written by Marc   Posted 8 April 2013

When a company is a few months behind on their books (Nov 2012), can I either use an estimate from the 1st return (Aug), or even a 8-10% calculation above the 2012 returns, or figures just to get the provisional tax in?

Can I claim tax which was deducted in one month extra because I received a backpay?

  Written by Marc   Posted 4 April 2013

I have received two backpays in one year because of payroll and HR incompetence. So, when they ultimately pay it in for me it is a great amount of money which places me in a higher income bracket and therefore I have to pay more tax. But if they just payed the increased amount monthly I like they were supposed to, I would have stayed in my normal income bracket.

I am a pensioner and I have R1,000,000-00 on fixed deposit, how much tax will I have to pay? I am 65

  Written by Marc   Posted 4 April 2013

As a 65 year old you will entitled to your first R104 611 of taxable income to be tax free and a further R34 500 of interest.

So for example if your R1 000 000 attracts 10% p.a then the first R34 500 of the R100 000 interest will be tax free and the remaining R65 500 as it is below the tax threshold.
