Common Tax Deductions for Individuals

Many taxpayers are unaware of the tax deductions available to them. By taking advantage of these deductions, you can reduce your taxable income and minimize the amount of tax payable. Common deductions include:

  • Medical Tax Deductions: Claim deductions for medical aid and other medical expenses not covered by your employer.

  • Travel Allowances: Deduct work-related travel expenses, including the use of a company car or personal vehicle for business purposes.

  • Home Office Expenses: If you work from home, certain expenses related to your home office may be deductible.

  • Retirement Contributions: Contributions to retirement funds may be deducted to lower your overall taxable income.

By filing on time and making use of all available deductions, you may even be eligible for a tax refund.

Frequently Asked Questions About Individual Tax

  • In South Africa, if you are earning an income above the tax threshold set by SARS, you are required to submit a tax return. This includes income from your salary, freelance work, or business profits. Even if you are auto-assessed, you should ensure that your tax return is accurate. If in doubt, it’s best to consult with a tax professional to confirm your filing obligations.

  • To file your individual tax return, you will typically need:

    • An IRP5 Certificate from your employer, showing your income and tax deductions.

    • Medical aid certificates for tax credits.

    • Travel allowance details if you claim a deduction for business travel.

    • Income statements for any freelance or other sources of income.

    • Bank statements for interest earned or dividends received.

    Make sure you have all the relevant documents on hand to ensure an accurate and timely submission.

  • Yes, if you work from home, you can claim certain home office expenses as tax deductions. This includes a portion of your rent, utilities, and internet costs. You must meet specific requirements set by SARS, such as using the space exclusively for work purposes. We can help you determine what’s eligible for deduction and ensure you meet all the necessary criteria.

  • Provisional tax is a system where taxpayers pay tax in advance, based on estimated annual income. It applies to individuals earning income outside traditional employment, such as freelancers or contractors. You must pay provisional tax twice a year, with the first payment due in August and the second in February. If you don’t pay provisional tax, you may face penalties or interest from SARS.

  • To check the status of your tax refund, log in to SARS eFiling and navigate to the “Tax Return Status” section. You will see the progress of your submission and whether your refund has been processed. If you’re unsure or encounter delays, you can also visit a SARS branch or contact their helpline for further assistance.
