Status of tax return submitted via T-Filing

2 requests to upload supporting documents - is that normal from SARS?



I filed my tax and claimed for medical expenses - I had an operation I had to pay for privately. I uploaded the invoices upon SARS' request. They called me after about 3 weeks and asked me to further upload the receipts which I have now done. Will it take another 3 weeks for them to review the receipts?

How can SARS deduct R2500 from 7yrs ago (after a refund), and a further R2500 after I disputed it?



Hi Tim. I have a major dispute going on with SARS as efiling didn't show that my return for 2007 was done manually. Being a new efiling user I was still learning the process. How can SARS be so inhumane when they have clearly made this service available to the common person and then charge us thousands for making a human error by clicking a wrong button. I submitted a return in error that should never have been submitted from 7 years ago (a year they rightfully refunded me I might add)... S...

Where do I declare a secondary source of commission income in the ITR12 if the primary is on IRP5?



I am an independent contractor operating out of a home office, and earned commission during the year from two sources, however only one of them deducted PAYE. That IRP5 is reflected on eFiling, however there is no section on the ITR12 to declare the second source of commission income. If I select the trade section of the ITR12 then I get a whole income statement to complete; if I do this must I include the IRP5 income as well? Also must I include all my expenses here or rather in the standard de...
