30 January 2018 – Provisional Taxpayer deadline: 24 hours left

You Need Posted on by

Erratum: Individual Provisional Taxpayers are required to submit their annual income tax returns (ITR12) today, 31 January 2018 and not their IRP6 return as was communicated yesterday.  We apologise for the error.

 

PRETORIA, 30 January 2018 – Provisional taxpayers have until 31 January to file their income tax returns (IRP6) through eFiling. 

A provisional taxpayer is any person who receives income, or to whom income accrues, other than a salary. This includes persons who receive rental income from a property, taxable interest income from investments or other income from a trade.

Taxpayers are reminded that channels such as the SARS mobisite, available at  www.sarsefiling.mobi, are available for easy filing via one’s mobile device.  Late submission will attract penalties. 

Payment deadline

As a separate matter, the deadline of 31 January also applies to payments from individual taxpayers who filed personal income tax returns last year and were assessed to owe SARS money. 

While harsh penalties and interest apply to late payments on the other hand, taxpayers in financial difficulty can approach SARS to defer payment or pay in instalments within qualifying criteria.

Taxpayers who wish to make payment arrangements must go to their nearest SARS branch or call the SARS Contact Centre on 0800 00 7277.

Three main payment channels are available, including eFiling, via a bank or EFT. SARS branches do not accept payments, whether cash or cheque.

Member of Legislature donates Sports Equipment to Mthatha School

You Need Posted on by

It is said “not all heroes wear capes” but one thing is for sure, it takes a village. Mxolisi Dimaza, Member of Provincial Legislature (MPL) and Chairperson of Eastern Cape Provincial Legislature Health Portfolio Committee, not only found it deep in his pockets, but also in his heart, as he took it upon himself by personally sponsoring brand-new sports equipment at Gobizizwe High Senior Secondary School in Mthatha.

The need for this came to Dimaza’sattention and devotion when he spearheaded a School during the visits by the Portfolio Committee team that consisted of officials from Provincial Legislature and Eastern Cape Department of Education (ECDoE). After the visit to Gobizizwe High School, Dimaza promised to bring the school sports wear and equipment, in order to curb the burning issues faced by the pupils in the community and by the school at large.

“Making a promise is one thing, but keeping it is another big deal,” said Dimaza. The purpose of the school visits give the Portfolio Committee great detail and insight of the challenges faced by the schools. “It is quite saddening that our children outside the classrooms are consumers of drugs and are busy committing crimes, because there are no extra mural activities that uplift them. These sports kits and equipment will hopefully change their lives,” added Dimaza.

Gobizizwe Senior Secondary School principal Thuli Mbixane was full of joy as she was presented with this gift and referred to Dimaza as “a gift from God”.

Impromptu School Readiness visits at Attwell Madala High School

You Need Posted on by

A team led by Mxolisi Dimaza who is the Member of the Provincial Legislature and also chairperson of the Health Portfolio Committee conducted an impromptu visit at Atwell Madala High School in Mthatha(OR Tambo Inland District) on 26 January 2018.

The School Readiness programme is designed to check the status of readiness of all schools in the province for the whole year.Dimaza started by explaining to the Principal Yalelwa Mfecane and her School Management Team (SMT) the purpose of the visit, “Every beginning of the year, the Education Portfolio Committee visits schools to see their state of readiness for that particular year. What happens is that a Districtgives our team a list of all schools to be visited, the reason vary as some are one of the best performing and some are the worst, sometimes we visit any school though they are not on thelist,” said Dimaza.  He further explained that every member of the Provincial Legislature,“no matter which portfolio committee you serve under if Education needs your help you must help.”

“We mainly focus on the Admissions, Results, Teacher Pupil Ratio, Learner, Teacher Support Material (LTSM), Nutrition, Scholar Transport and School Governing Body (SGB),” explained Dimaza.

Mrs. Mfecane stated that as a school they are facing a lot of challenges, especially in the 2017 school calendar year.“We lost 2 Science teachers through death and 1 Mathematics teacher was attacked by a stroke and we have no substitute for that teacher since March 2017, overcrowding is one of the major problems we are facing, the total enrollment is 1571 for 2018 and no infrastructure. Classrooms are overcrowded.”

With sadness in her face she said, “the pass rate for our Matric students has dropped since 2015 to 2017. In 2015 it was 66%, 2016 it was 62% and now in 2017 it is 56,5%.” She also said that there was no Nutrition and Scholar Programme at the School. Transfers and promotions during the school academic year disrupts the academic year for the schools they are leaving behind. We acknowledge that there is a problem and we as Educators at the School need to conduct an introspection within ourselves and not blame one another for us to improve the status of our school.”

Mr. Phumzile Mashalaba,  from the Education Department who heads the Maths and Science Subjects voiced his concerns over the loss of the Maths and Science teachers and promised that he would do everything in his power to help the School resolve these issues before it’s too late.
