    Everything Counts | Episode 53: Tips for tax filing season in South Africa

    In this episode of Everything Counts, we unpack one of the most overlooked opportunities to improve your financial position: your tax return. Many people treat tax filing season as a simple compliance exercise and move on.

We dive into: ● Why you should rethink how you approach tax filing ● The risks of blindly accepting SARS auto assessments ● Common tax mistakes that could cost you money ● Medical aid deductions and what you might be missing ● Travel claims, cost-to-company structuring, and share incentives ● What happens during a SARS audit (and how to prepare) Whether you're a salaried employee, high-income earner, or managing multiple income streams, this episode gives practical, actionable insights to help you file with confidence and make sure you aren’t unknowingly leaving money on the table. 00:00 Introduction 01:15 Tax filing beyond compliance 01:48 What changes to report to SARS 03:50 Tax returns as a financial health check 04:43 The importance of keeping track of your own numbers 05:27 Should I accept SARS auto assessment? 06:45 Changes to tax auto assessments for 2026 07:37 How to submit medical aid tax certificate to SARS 09:30 Beyond medical certificates for tax 10:30 Disability claim SARS 12:06 Is travel allowance tax deductible? 15:30 Structuring a tax efficient remuneration package 17:13 Tax implications on shares 18:36 What does it mean if SARS is auditing you? 20:00 Tax verification vs audit 21:15 The value of a tax practitioner if you are audited 21:50 Audit mistakes to avoid 23:00 Tax audit tips for high net worth individuals 24:38 How to maximise your tax refund 36:40 Conclusion Investec Focus Radio SA

    Everything Counts | Episode 52: Has saving lost its meaning?

    We've all heard the advice. Save more. Spend less. Start earlier. In this episode of Everything Counts, Motheo Khoaripe is joined by Investec's Nirvashni Rajkumar (KZN team leader for the Investec financial planning team) and Dorothy Asomaning (Investec Wealth & Investment Wealth Manager) to explore why saving is about much more than building a bigger bank balance. Together they unpack how lifestyle inflation quietly limits our choices, why earning more doesn't always lead to greater financial freedom, and how giving your money a clear purpose can change the way you think about your future. In this episode, we discuss: • Why traditional conversations about saving no longer resonate. • How lifestyle inflation quietly reduces financial freedom. • Why financial freedom is about choice, not income. • How to give your savings a meaningful purpose. • The realities of saving while supporting family. • Why behaviour shapes financial outcomes more than good intentions. • The simple question that can change the way you think about saving. If you've grown tired of traditional savings advice, this conversation offers a different perspective on what saving is really for.
