I have not yet received my IRP5
Posted 17 July 2015
When can I get my IRP5?
What does this message mean by approving my returns and epayment of R4,924.95. Do I have to pay or w
Posted 17 July 2015
I have received an email from SARS saying
We have approved your tax returns and epayment of R4,924.95 made into your account
Click below to check for confirmation
then they put the link.
When I am clicking on the link I have to choose the bank I'm using then they ask for username password. They take my password, my cellphone no and email address, then ask for same thing again and again.
Is this a scam?
Is my boss really contributing to my tax returns?

How do you know that your salary is being taxed for real if you are not getting a pay slip?
2008 tax return outstanding
Posted 17 July 2015
Good day,
Every year since 2009 I have been doing my SARS eFiling and lucky enough, getting a refund paid to me. Now this year 2015 SARS says I have an outstanding tax return from 2008? Why wasn't it picked up last year when I was Audited?
Will I now be penalised for this? Even though I did pay my taxes. I have requested a tax return on SARS Efiling for 2008, just awaiting IRP5 from my company.

Deductible company expenses
Posted 16 July 2015
For many years I operated as a sole Proprietor. Early 2014 I registered a PTY Ltd and duly traded as the PTY LTD. As executive director, by choice I did not draw any salary, the idea being that this would help the company cashflow by saving more working capital. I paid for all vehicle expenses ie fuel, maintenance, privately out of my savings, but approximately 90% of the vehicle use and expenses are attributable to the PTY LTD business. Is there any way that these expenses can be recovered from...

Motor Bargaining council levies, were deducted, but I was never registered
Posted 16 July 2015
My employer was deducting Motor council levies, but I was never registered. They said I will not get my levies back to me. I had to approach the Motor Bargaining council to get the motor levies paid back to me, and was paid as a cash deposit, instead of on line banking transfer. Surely, the money that was originally deducted from me, went to another account, or invested elsewhere, how did they manage to do their tax return. Is there any way, that I should report this matter to SARS, etc?

Company or Individual tax if IRP5 is from my company
Posted 16 July 2015
What if my tax return (IRP5) show my name on it as a business for example "Koos Consulting Services". But during the tax year I worked at this company on contract. Every month they subtracted individual tax from my payslip (which was right). My question now is, when I do the tax return at SARS won't they now want me to pay company tax, and not individual tax?

Time taken to issue new tax number
Posted 16 July 2015
My previous tax number is listed as insolvent and SARS assisted me with a new IT77 application for a new tax number, I was made aware that since the insolvency that SARS has money owing to me for the years that followed. They advised that they will transfer those funds onto the new tax number and then I will receive my rebate. Once I get the new tax number I can then submit my last IRP5 to the new tax number as well. Happy with that.
My question is how long does it take SARS to issue...

Haven't received my return 7 days after an IT34 was issued
Posted 16 July 2015
I submitted my tax stuff on SARS eFilling exactly 7 days ago today. SARS responded promptly with an IT34 notice, which indicated that I'm due to receive a tax return (which was a negative amount, not sure what that means. Do I owe SARS or do they owe me?). Now I still haven't received the money (7 days later). What could be the problem?
