Solution
To calculate Colin's gross income for the current year of assessment, we need to add up all his income sources.
- Salary from employer: R835,000
- Interest on savings account with local bank: R19,650
- Interest on a tax-free investment account with a South African bank: R3,000
- Dividends from a South African company: R12,000
So, Colin's gross income would be R835,000 (salary) + R19,650 (interest from savings) + R3,000 (interest from tax-free investment) + R12,000 (dividends) = R869,650.
Therefore, the correct answer is c. R869,650.
