Problem with logbook

  Written by Evan   Posted 15 July 2015

Hi there. Please can you help? I don't normally claim travel allowance or petrol, so this was a once-off thing. This is now indicated on my IRP5, but I don't have a log book. And I have to submit it to SARS as I have been selected for an audit. Do I have to claim it or can I request a correction and remove it from my tax return? Please help. Thanks

I had hospital expenses where I received a statement indicating the amount paid by the medical aid and the amount I had to pay in.

  Written by Evan   Posted 14 July 2015

I have been submitting my tax return since 2009 with no issues. I was audited last year as well as this year and recieved the ITSA notification to say the audit has been finalised and all is good. When I phoned to ask why has my credit amount due not been paid to me yet they say I need to do my tax return for 2007 which is 8 years ago.

Verification of Income Tax Return

  Written by Evan   Posted 14 July 2015

I am somewhat panicked after receiving a "Verification of Income Tax Return" notice and a "Request for Relevant Material" notice. The problem arose (I think) under amounts submitted to, but not recovered from, my medical aid.

I am very worried as I have never had any issues with SARS.
