Can I correct an already sumbitted tax return?

  Written by Marc   Posted 12 August 2015

I submitted my tax and was told how much of a R,,,, amount I will be getting back(great news). However straight after I submitted I realized there is a stack of receipts at home for medical bills that I did not enter. Is it too late to correct the already submitted tax return?

How long will it take to get assessed and refunded( it will definitely be more than the R,,, amount they gave me today). How long do I have to make a correction if I can?

House/car repayment - tax benefits

  Written by Evan   Posted 12 August 2015

Are there any tax benefits when you are paying off a bond, car or any property?
Does that affect the person who is paying the loan or the person receiving payment, or both? As far as disclosing this on the tax return as a deduction or otherwise.

Logbook requirements for SARS for claiming travel allowance?

  Written by Marc   Posted 11 August 2015

I hadn't submitted my tax forms from 2009 and 2010 (although SARS had owed me money in each of those instances) but I'm trying to resubmit now. I got paid for some of the travel that I conducted from my business (roughly R4/km) and I kep an online logbook on Excel. Is this sufficient for SARS or do I need to fill it out on an official SARS logbook?

Correction not amended on eFiling

  Written by Evan   Posted 11 August 2015

Hi Tim. I submitted my tax through SARS efiling. I am claiming for medical expenses not covered by Medical Aid. The amount to be paid out to me was R5 700.

What should I do?

I have submitted my tax return for 2015 via SARS e filing but they keep asking me to upload supporting documents, which I do and then they tell me two weeks later that they have not received them.

Delayed refund from SARS?

  Written by Marc   Posted 9 August 2015

Hi there,

I submitted my tax rerun for this year and SARS have requested returns for 2011 and 2012. Since they didn't ask for these last year, am I correct in assuming that I didn't need to submit them in the past and will therefor not be penalized?

Also, my 2012 return has been selected for verification. Im assuming this is a random selection or perhaps because the three returns together equate to a refund due to me of around R12 000. I cant see any other reason fo...

Submitting old returns?

  Written by Marc   Posted 7 August 2015

Hi there, my wife is due a refund, after following up with SARS they said she needs to submit a return for 2009. The problem as you advised in your article (https://www. Taxtim. Com/za/blog/sars-isnt-paying-my-refund-they-want-my-old-returns) is that there is zero chance of acquiring those old documents now. Is her only option a police affadavit?
How does she submit a return on eFiling, when there is no record of it on there? (This is what SARS said she must do. . . )
Can you submit a nil return for older years, even if she obviously was employed but there is tax documentation?...
