1. A taxpayer is 53 years old and a provisional taxpayer. The taxpayer's 2021 year of assessment was assesed on 12/11/2021
and indicated taxable income of R797 196 which included a severance benefit of R86 741. The 2020 year of assessment was
assessed on 28/11/2020 and indicated taxable income of R747 244. The 2019 year of assessment was assessed on
19/01/2020 and indicated taxable income of R495 552. Calculate the minimum amount on which the taxpayer should base
their second provisional tax payment for the current year of assessment.


a. R797 196
b. R797 196 - R86 741 x 1.08
c. None of the options are correct.
d. R747 244 - R86 741
e. R797 196 - R86 741


Feedback
The actual taxable income is not known and therefore the minimum amount is the basic amount because the taxpayer's
taxable income is less than R1 000 000.


2. A non-resident taxpayer, 44 years old, earned the following income in the current year of assessment: (i) Interest on a
deposit in a bank resident in the Republic, of R50 000 (ii) Interest on a deposit in a bank that is resident in Germany, of EUR 2
000 (R30 000) (iii) Dividends paid by a company registered and operating in the Republic, of R25 000. Calculate the amount
to be included in their gross income for South African income tax purposes. Ignore any double tax agreement. Don't use a
""R"" sign.
Answer:
75000


Feedback
Interest earned by a non-resident from a bank registered outside of the Republic is not considered to have a source within
the Republic and is therefore excluded. Gross income is before the deduction of exemptions.


3. A taxpayer (35 years old), is a full-time employee. The following information relates to the taxpayers employment for the
month of May:
-Salary R449 107.
-Medical aid contributions: R14 000. The taxpayer and his employer contribute equally towards the taxpayer's medical aid
fund.

and was issued a section18A receipt.
Calculate the balance of remuneration for the month of May that will be used as a basis for employees tax purposes by the
taxpayer's employer.


a. R449 107 - (R8 400 limited to: 5% of R449 107)
b. R449 107 - R8 400
c. (R449 107 + (R14 )) - (R8 400 limited to: 5% of (R449 107 + (R14 ))
d. None of the options are correct
e. R449 107 + (R14 ) - (R8 400 limited to: 10% of (R449 107 + (R14 ))
Feedback
The balance of remuneration will consist of remuneration less the donation to the PBO made by the employer on behalf of
the employee.

The dutiable amount of the estate is the amount after the abatement has been taken into account. As the taxpayer had a
predeceased spouse any balance of the abatement from the predeceased spouse can be used by the taxpayer.

e. R369 727 + R4 500 + ((R5,00 - R3,82) x 500)




Feedback
100% of the excess re-imbursive travel allowance is remuneration. The employer's contribution towards the employee's
medical aid fund is a taxable fringe benefit and therefore remuneration.

R10 000 000. The house was inherited by the taxpayer from his grandmother, who was ordinarily resident in Munich. The

the total deductions that would be deducted from the gross value of the estate for estate duty purposes.

8545000

The accrual claim, the value of the foreign property and the bank overdraft can all be deducted from the gross value of the
estate for estate duty purposes.

market related price of R2 113 352 on 03 June 2021. He also made a R128 726 donation to a fundraising event on 03 August
2021 and his wife made a donation of R154 471 to the church on the same date.

reached the R30 million accumulated donation amount.


a. [R128 726 - R100 000] x 20%
b. [((R128 726 + R154 471) / 2) - R100 000] x 20%
c. None of the options are correct.
d. [(R128 726 + R154 471 - R100 000) / 2] x 20%
e. [R2 113 352 + R128 726 - R100 000] x 20%
