SARS Incompetence !

Dear @Jola

The MyBB community is glad to see you have moved on from having issues with Capitec and MTN to now also having issues with SARS.

This is what we call progress.

Yeah, I could add a few others as well, Customer Service is a thing of the past.

BTW, Capitec eventually refunded me, I presume that was an admission that the problem was a failure on their part, and not MTN.
 
(I've just pulled this up from SARS section 10 right now, same principal as 10 years ago etc etc)

This is from "section 10 page 25"

Result:
X was employed and rendered services outside the Republic for a continuous period of 214 days. According to the filtering process of the flow diagram in Annexure B, it is clear that X is entitled to the exemption under section 10(1)(o)(ii), as X meets both the 183-day and 60-continuous-day rule requirements.

-----------------------

So then please explain to me why a letter from SARS clearly states that "you worked for 250 days outside South Africa and as such we take your entire remuneration for the year then divide it by 365 x 250 to get the tax free amount, the rest is fully taxed."

-----------------------

This makes no logical sense, you are either TAX exempt or TAX liable, not half and half.

I fought this issue for years and years with multiple useless consultants who love to charge thousands and thousands, and still I got nowhere, now what is it too late?

were you taxed in the other country?

The DTA would be a separate issue but that does not apply to this scenario.

This is a South African company and SARS <-- South Africa has docked or kept the tax that I paid donkeys years ago instead of refunded it to me.

I vaguely recall that in 2017 there was a change to foreign earnings, which meant that foreign earnings not taxed in the foreign country, would now be taxed in SA

no the only change came in 2019 or 2020 about the R1,250,000 rule being free, thereafter you are taxed on the rest. The old rule was unlimited.

yeah all that has never changed anything, section 10 on SARS website is pretty straight forward. And remember I did this for 30 years, the same identical thing each and every time, only this time must I bounce up and down, but 50% you have to contest their amount and then you get the correct amount. These retarded SARS appointed accountants have never dealt with this before so it is "up to one person's interpretation of how it should be done"

-----

I got paid 12 months of the year as per usual, a set salary. I worked 1 month away eg. Nigeria oil rig and then came home for 1 month to sit and twiddle my thumbs. <-- remember I get paid 12 months of the year

SARS retard 101 says to me : But if you worked in January overseas and then had February off but got paid, then you must be taxed on that February salary because it was inside South Africa! And you have to sit there and try explain to them that I don't work in South Africa but I still get paid when I am at home, just like any other person who may be on leave or sick etc?!

Their brains cannot work it out... they've never even heard of Section 10 <-- and I printed it out and showed them, they weren't interested.
