🏥 TAX TIP TUESDAY | WEEK 2

Can your medical expenses reduce your tax?

Medical expenses can be confusing when it comes to your tax return. 💚

Your medical aid contributions and certain qualifying medical expenses may entitle you to medical tax credits or additional medical expense benefits, depending on your circumstances.

You may need to consider things such as:
✅ Medical aid contributions
✅ Qualifying out-of-pocket medical expenses
✅ Prescribed medication and other qualifying medical costs
✅ Certain disability-related expenses

📌 Important: Not every medical expense automatically results in a tax refund, and the tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances.

Keep your medical aid tax certificate and supporting receipts — you may need them when completing your tax return.

💡 Our tip: Don't simply leave medical expenses off your return because you're unsure whether they qualify.

Let us check for you!

💰 Do you own Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency?

Many taxpayers don't realise that crypto must be disclosed to SARS.

Whether you trade, invest, mine, stake, or receive crypto as payment, there may be tax implications.

Don't wait for SARS to ask the question—make sure your return is accurate.

💰 TAX TIP TUESDAY | WEEK 1 OF 10

Think only your salary is taxable? Think again!

One of the biggest mistakes taxpayers make is assuming that only their monthly salary needs to be declared to SARS.

Depending on your circumstances, you may also need to declare:
✅ Bonuses and commissions
✅ Rental income
✅ Freelance or side hustle income
✅ Investment income
✅ Foreign income
✅ Certain pension and annuity income

Failing to declare all your income can result in penalties, interest and unnecessary stress.

💡 Tax Tip: If you're unsure whether an income source needs to be declared, it's always better to ask before submitting your return.

At Easy-P Accounting Services, we're here to help you submit an accurate tax return and ensure you're fully compliant with SARS.

💰 Why Do I Owe SARS Tax if PAYE Was Deducted?

Many pensioners are surprised when they have to pay SARS after submitting their tax return.

Here's why:

✅ Your pension fund deducts PAYE based only on your pension.

✅ Your employer deducts PAYE based only on your salary.

❌ Neither one usually knows about the other income.

When SARS combines both incomes during your tax assessment, your total taxable income may move into a higher tax bracket. This means the PAYE deducted separately was not enough, resulting in tax payable.

Example:

👴 Pension: R20,000 per month
👨‍💼 Salary: R25,000 per month

Each payer deducts tax on their own payment.

But SARS taxes the combined income of R45,000 per month, which may attract a higher rate of tax.

How can you avoid a surprise tax bill?

✔ Tell your employer or pension fund about your other income.
✔ Ask them to deduct additional PAYE each month.
✔ Speak to your tax practitioner to estimate your tax before the end of the tax year.

A little extra PAYE during the year is often much easier than a large tax bill after assessment.

If you receive a SARS Auto Assessment and:

✅ All your income has been included.
✅ Your medical aid, retirement annuity and other information are correct.
✅ You have no additional deductions or income to declare.

Then you do not have to do anything.
SARS will regard the auto assessment as final after the response period ends.

However, if:
❌ Information is missing (for example, rental income or freelance income).
❌ You want to claim deductions that SARS didn't know about (such as qualifying travel expenses, home office expenses where applicable, donations, etc.).
❌ Any information is incorrect.

Then you must log into SARS eFiling or the SARS MobiApp, make the necessary changes, and submit your tax return before the deadline.

🚨 Did Your Banking Details Change? 🚨

Have you changed your bank account recently?

Before SARS pays any refund, it's important to make sure your banking details on their system are up to date and correct.

If your details are outdated or incorrect, your refund could be delayed.

✅ Not sure what SARS has on record?
✅ Need to update your banking details?
✅ Want us to check everything before you submit your tax return?

We're here to help!
