I have never filled in tax returns.



Hi there,

Im looking to buy property later this year and my girlfriend says I need to start filling in tax returns. I have never done this before, always been sort of under the radar, but now starting to worry that I might get into some sort of trouble.

I do have a tax number, pay UIF and PAYE which all comes off my salary and I get my IRP5 forms yearly. I will be subscribing to TAXTIM to assist me from now on, but what if I somehow owe SARS a stack of money for never ever filling in the returns?...

Will Sars let me know whats going on will I get my refund what does this mean.



Hi Tim

I have a question:

I have submitted my tax return on the 1st August 2013 then on the 3rd of August they asked that I should upload all my documents.

How can SARS assess me as being R80,900 in arrears when I pay PAYE each month?



SARS sent me an SMS saying I have R80,900 in tax arrears. Although I'm registered as a provisional taxpayer, I also paid PAYE through my employer of R39,010.89, and then an additional payment of R44,000.00 three months ago (as am married in C.O.P. and my wife has an annuity income).
