Posted 28 October 2013

I submitted my 2013 tax return and have a penalty of R500 for the 2007 and 2009 tax returns outstanding. How do I go about submitting these as I cannot find these loaded on my eFiling profile? And should I be paying tax if at that time I earned below the taxable threshold?

I completed my tax return last night via eFiling and I have only received an ITA34 almost immediately after filing it. According to the ITA34, SARS owes me R4954.

After an audit has been completed, will SARS use my 'original IT34A assessment'?

Posted 19 October 2013

I recently filed my tax return through the eFiling thing and I was told by SARS that I am being audited. Because I am new to the eFiling thing, I submitted my return twice. The 'original assessment' which showed a -R3,684.00 amount contains the most accurate information as the main difference I noticed between the 'additional assessment' (which stated that I owe SARS over R2,000 ) and the 'original assessment' was the number of people covered on medical aid.
