Low-interest loan :[50 000 x (4,5% - 2%) x 122/365 + (50 000 - 50 000/4) x (4,75% -
2%) x 62/365 + (50 000 - 50 000/4) x (5% - 2%) x 28/365] 3 471

Travel allowance (5 000 x 7) 35 000

Total kilometres = 103 445 - 88 674) = 14 771
Business kilometres = 2 900
Private travel = 14 771 - 2 900 = 11 871

Cost of vehicle = R220 000
Fixed cost from table = R75 039

Fuel 37 175

, Actual cost per km (37 175/14 771) 2,517

South african dividends (2 000)

Employer pension fund contributions (23 000 x 3 x 10%) 6 900
Total contributions 25 865

Percentage limit - greater of:
- Remuneration: 27,5% x 450 000 = R123 750
- Taxable income: 27,5% x 618 663 = R170 132

Deduction limited to the lesser of:
R350 000 or

Taxable income (R615 192), thus deduct actual (25 865)
592 798

b) Advise Jochim on the normal tax implications of the transfer to his tax free
savings account and the subsequent use of this account for medical expenses.

The annual tax-free portion of contributions to a tax-free investment is limited to
R36 000

The excess contributions Jochim made of R64 000 (being R100 000 - 36000) will be
subject to normal tax at 40%

The payment of medical expenses from a tax free investment will be regarded as a
withdrawal from the tax-free investment.

There are no income tax implications for withdrawals from tax free investments and
therefore no tax implications for the payment of medical expenses from the tax-free
investment
