It is very important that you know the source code for all your entries. Using the wrong source code could really cause a headache if you need to then object to your tax return results after the fact. You should also not rely 100% on what is printed on your IRP5 as these codes could be discontinued. Here is a comprehensive list of all the Source Codes that you will need: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sars.gov.za\/types-of-tax\/personal-income-tax\/filingseason\/find-a-source-code\/\">Source Code List<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\">E-filing has made submitting your tax return so much easier. The return wizard will prompt you with a few questions (eg, Did you incur medical expenses? How many IRP5 certificates did you receive? Did you make any retirement annuity contributions? etc) and your responses will then create the form for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri light';\">Declare all your income<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\">You need to declare all forms of income on your return and not only what appears in your IRP5. Failure to declare all income can result in penalties or even criminal prosecution in some cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\"><em>Here are some examples of taxable income:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\">Remuneration (income from employment), such as, salaries, wages, bonuses, overtime pay, taxable (fringe) benefits, allowances and certain lump sum benefits<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\">Profits or losses from a business or trade<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\">Distributions arising from an individual being a beneficiary of a trust<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\">Director\u2019s fees<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\">Investment income, such as interest and foreign dividends<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\">Rental profit or losses<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\">Income from royalties<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\">Annuities<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\">Pension income<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\">Certain capital gains<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\">Foreign Income and\/or donations from foreign donors<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\"><em>You are liable to pay income tax if you earn more than:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\">R91 250 if you are younger than 65 years.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\">If you are 65 years of age to below 75 years, the tax threshold (i.e. the amount above which income tax becomes payable) is R141 250.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\">For taxpayers aged 75 years and older, this threshold is R157 900.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\">&#8211; <em>sars.gov.za<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri light';\">Auto Assessments<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\">You have all your supporting documents ready, hop onto E-filing and find that your entire form has been completed.

This means that your tax situation is relatively simple and SARS has completed the form on your behalf with documents that they have received from 3rd parties, i.e. banks, employers, medical aids, retirement annuities etc. Most of your work is done for you but beware of just clicking Accept. You need to still go through the entire return to make sure that all your details are captured and that they are captured <strong>correctly.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Calibri light';\">Previously you had 40 days from when your return was auto assessed to file the return.
