ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS

Laura Lawson is ordinary resident in a northern-hemisphere country. She has been retired for a number of years. She is 69 years old. She does not enjoy the cold northern-hemisphere winter and has therefore, each year, travelled to Cape Town where she stays in a holiday cottage from 1 October each year until 31 March the following year. She purchased this holiday cottage primarily for this purpose since she enjoys the warm weather that Cape Town experiences during that time of year. She made her first trip to Cape Town in the 2012 year of assessment when she stayed in South Africa from 1 October 2011 till 31 March 2012. She has made the same trip every year since then. Laura’s receipts and accruals for the 2018 year of assessment were as follows: - A social security pension the equivalent of R100 000 from the country that she is a resident of. - An annuity the equivalent of R80 000 from her former employer as a result of the 30 years employment that she had with it. None of these years were spent in South Africa. - Rentals of R36 000. The rentals are earned from her holiday cottage in Cape Town. She lets it to tenants at a market-related rental for the six months of the year that she is not in Cape Town. For this six month period she incurred in the determination of her taxable income deductible expenditure of R15 000 in earning these rentals. - Interest of R45 000 from a bank in South Africa. It is not from a ‘tax free investment’. The interest accrues to her annually in arrears on the last day of February. - Local dividends from listed South African companies of R17 000. Required 2.1 Determine if Laura Lawson is a resident of the republic for the 2018 year of assessment. (14) 2.2 Calculate her South African taxable income for the 2018 year of assessment.
