Verification of Income Tax Declaration



Hi Tim. Your website is great & the questions & answers very helpful indeed. I recently submitted my ITR via E-Filing, my IRP5 information appeared on my ITR (I didn't change anything). After I submitted it, it reflected that I'm due a refund of R7600.

What is a additional assessment from SARS?



I did my eFiling as usual,then I got a ITA34 which said that they owe me money, then they requested that I give them the supporting documents, which I handed in at the SARS offices.

The lady then said that it can take up to 30 days for it to be processed, but then on the very same day later in the afternoon, I got a notification on e-filing to sa...

Which supporting documents to send to SARS when being audited?



I recently filed by return via eFiling and was selected for an audit or verification process. So SARS requires supporting documents from me. My question is when submitting these documents, do I only submit those documents pertaining to aspects that impacted the assessment (detailed under "Notes" at the end of the ITA34) because that's what I am assuming or do I have to submit all documentation? Also how long after I have submitted these documents will I get a response from SARS, also my refund s...

Provident fund payout in 2013 assessment year



Hi Tim, I received an IRP5 for provident fund for Year of assessment 2013. I included the amount of R416 363 (source code 3920) in my "income received" column, on the IRP5 they included this amount in the "Gross Non-retirement Funding Income" (source code 3698) column.
