Notes:
1. Bursary
BB provided Fabians son-in-law, James, with a bursary of R30000, based on merit, to study towards a honours degree (NQF level 8) at a recognised educational institution, on condition that the bursary must be repaid if non-compliance occurs. James earned a total remuneration package of R560000 for the 2024 tax year.
2. Reimbursement of travel expenses
BB reimburses Fabian R8.44 per kilometre when he uses his own motor vehicle for business travelling. His motor vehicle cost R350000(including VAT) on 1 March 2022, when he purchased it. The motor vehicles total running expenses for the year amounted to R36000. Fabian kept an accurate logbook for his business travelling, which amounted to 6000 km out of a total of 18000 km travelled for the year (section reference to be provided).
3. Subsidy in respect of home loan
BB paid the Housing Bank on behalf of Fabian during the year, thereby assisting Fabian paying for his home loan with Housing Bank. Because of BBs payments to the Housing Bank, it charges Fabian a reduced rate of 11% per annum on his home loan of R700000, instead of its normal home loan rate of 13% per annum.
Assume the REPO rate (repurchase rate) was 9% per annum throughout the year of assessment (par. reference to be provided).
4. Bakery business taxable income
Marianne owns a bakery in her own name which earned a taxable income of R1200000 for the year of assessment.
5. Rental of flat
Fabian rented his 2-bedroom flat to Shamsi and James for the year for R6000. All the parties agreed that instead of Fabian charging a higher rental, Shamsi and James will also pay most of the expenses related to the flat (except where indicated otherwise), even though it is invoiced in Fabians name.
The costs that Shamsi and James incurred for the year were as follows: R
Rates and taxes 8000
Levies 10000
Replacement of old stove 7000
Electricity (in Shamsi and James name)14400
Fitment of awning (roof) to cover veranda (paid by Fabian)15000
6. Foreign dividend
Fabian received a foreign dividend from a company listed on the JSE Limited (section reference to be provided for exemption, if applicable).
7. Medical expenditure
Fabian is a member of a medical aid fund and Marianne, and Douglas are registered as dependants. No member of the family has a disability as defined in section 6B. Fabians portion of forty percent (40%) of the total medical aid contributions amounted to R72000 for the year of assessment. BB paid the balance of sixty percent (60%) on his behalf.
8. Current retirement fund contributions
BB and Fabian each made provident fund contributions of R65000 during the year of assessment. Fabian also made a once off contribution of R162000 towards a retirement annuity fund. You may assume that his gross remuneration for the year amounted to R1600000, only for purposes of the retirement fund contribution deduction calculation. Fabian had a balance of disallowed retirement fund contributions of R80000 on 28 February 2023. Calculate Fabian Julies normal income tax payable after rebates and tax credits for the year of assessment ended 29 February 2024. Provide reasons and substantiate in terms of the Income Tax Act, where an amount is excluded from taxable income, or not subject to tax, or not allowable as a deduction, with reference to all the information provided
