    I don't think you understand how much your channel helped me, many black young professionals or newly graduated students, or recently hired professionals don't get the financial education that we need - to make informed financial decisions. You are doing the Lords work, and I hope this channel reaches as many people as possible...

    BE CAREFUL OF TAX SCAMS ⛔️
    hey guys there are a lot of scammers sending false smses right now telling you you have a refund. Please be careful
    ⚠️ Do not click on any links via sms
    ⚠️ Do not submit any card details on websites
    ✅ Log in via official SARS efiling website secure.sarsefiling.co.za/landing to check your refund / auto assessment status OR
    ✅ Download SARS MobiApp on google play store / AppStore to check your status
    Any refund you receive does NOT require you to first pay anything.
    Not everyone will receive a refund.
    Contact SARS for any assistance (not me).

      Credit goes to the video poster for her content. She will respond to questions but since I had already jumped in, i’ll just answer you here then bow out.
      Rental income you receive will be included in full as Gross income. So you must fully declare that.
      Your bond repayment will not be deductible as SARS will see it as capital in nature. Meaning, this will not be seen as a deduction expense, SARS will not agree to that, so you don’t need to include it.
      You can however, include the interest you paid on your bond as a deduction, SARS would permit this as a deduction.
      You can include your rates as a deduction.
      If you are paying an agent to manage that rental property, you can include the amount you pay the agent as a deduction.

    11:10 if you are getting rental income in your personal capacity what landlord costs can you offset before tax? Agency fees/commission for letting & managing property, maintenance, rates on the value of the property or levies in the case of sectional title, mortgage interest?
