So long as you are REASONABLE and wherever you can legally save why not do it !
Your maid and gardener may not help you trade, but as a business owner operating from home, you are entitled to claim a % of the total home running expenses.
Hi Scitrader. Your totally correct in saying any "home office" expenses incurred in carrying on a trade MAY qualify as a deduction, and certainly if they are genuine and have been incurred in the production of business income, they can be deducted.
However are you aware that any portion of your home utilized for business purposes (I.e. The % referred to above) will then be excluded from the "primary residence" exclusion when you sell the property (and thus be subject to CGT)?
Generally I find that in many cases, taxpayers are too aggressive in attempting to claim home office expenses, without understanding the implications. My all time favourate was a taxpayer wanting to claim a percentage of his estimated dog food expenditure - apparently it was a security cost.
Fgl has really been a upset/upbeat share that few have punted but turned the game on its head.
Patrick how are going to handle the Abl right issue. Can the holders take up their rights from their last deposit in december or will they just forfeit them and retain what they have
Yeh. I know how you feel. Sickening to invest in healthy stuff. You must reprimand them. Shout at them. They will then go up. Reminds me to reprimand mine now.
PNC. Are you in DOS mode again. Sleeping I think. You are embarrassing me in front of 300+ people here. What's wrong with you? Look at your pal CML that now has to carry you in my portfolio. Get off your butt and get going. Your bosses bought you more toys as in acquisitions and you not interested !!!
MTA. Are your batteries flat? Your boss just bought you a R2.2B battery buddy and you got revved up for 2 days then lost interest. I already said here that you are the next CML and now you embarrass me like this. Put some spark in there and get your wheels rolling mate.
CML. Thank you for doing so well. Talk some sense into your room mates and get them going. Then you must rest as you must be tired now. I don't mind if you have a rest my friend.
It would seem that gold shares are making a move , so I could recover my losses on GFI.
Then you will struggle to catch me orca
Patrick how about a separate leader board without the penny pincher's. Everytime TCS hit 2c or NUT is on 2c or climbs to 3c the whole game gets warped.
They are only there for irritation value anyway
Orca - it does make one wonder if one should come clear with SARS
I take it since 2009 they never discovered your mistakes and you came forward on your own accord? or did they pull the plug on you?
I disclosed all.
My tax consultant told me to not enter into an VDP as the 3 year prescription rule will apply and to just disclose all and the 5 year rule will apply. Not so it seems.
Hick. Burp. Look at the time.
Those guys doing CFD's must be hiding their gains. How can one possibly work out tax when you are doing 6 trades per day?
I find it difficult to do 4 per year.
Orca and all, request a CGT Tax certificate for the Tax Year from your broker, all your trades, gains and losses are calculated for you. My broker is Ned Priv Wealth (previous BoE) and i request a CGT certificate, they charge R 150. and i give that to my accounting firm. I do a lot of trades per year (around 100) and have no problems with tax, pay CGT on my nett gains.
Hope this helps
so I have some use in life sometimes :laugh:
