SARS E-Filing 2019/20

Nothing, whatever checks (if any) were done without my involvement. I actually already had all the documentation on hand including certificate of residence but I guess I'll just keep them safe for the next 5 years.

The thing that kept worrying me was all the fearmongering from the expat tax, even though I knew it was all nonsense. I declared all my global earnings, paid the necessary tax in my country of residence and SARS made no claims against me, was relieved to see the R0 with a compliant tax status :)

Yeah, the "expat tax" is actually the deemed capital gains tax event that occurs when you stop being a tax resident. It typically only applies to any assets you have such as shares, investments, etc but it excludes fixed property.

CGT is only triggered on financial immigration not when you become a non-resident for tax purposes

Nope, it's also triggered on becoming a non-resident.

Except when DTA applies

Hi

Does anyone have experience with submitting a fixed percentage tax directive on e-filing? It won't allow me to enter my tax ref number on the form(no entry sign when I hover over it), and then when I try and submit the form, it tells me it cannot process it without the ref number and highlights the box I can't edit?

I have tried different browsers , Any ideas?
 
Hello everybody,

This was the first year I bought shares. How do you estimate the value of dividends you may receive as a provisional taxpayer? :unsure:

It appears I have nothing to worry about.
SARS collect it from the companies who pay dividends. How cool is that. :)
 
Filed last year through my tax lady. (Because i'm stupid). Every year i get something back. Enough for a case of beer and whisky.
Every year i get audited. Fck knows why ? I get a salary, pay my flat and levies. Nothing fancy.

Penalties? :eek:
 
I do have access BUT i don't have a clue what's happening there, hence me paying someone who hopefully knows her job.
Compare your IRP 5 data with what is recorded on the IT34.
Make sure all your deductions are listed as well as additional income you received.

Penalties are listed below your taxable income part.
