Solution

To calculate Sidney's gross income, we need to add all her income sources together.

  1. Salary: R1 690 000
  2. Employer's contribution to medical aid: R65 000
  3. Local dividends: R10 000
  4. Interest from South African investment: R19 000

Add these all together:

R1 690 000 (Salary) + R65 000 (Medical aid) + R10 000 (Dividends) + R19 000 (Interest) = R1 784 000

So, the total amount which will be included in Sidney's Gross income for the current year of assessment is R1 784 000. Therefore, the correct answer is b. R1 784 000.
