SARS delayed claim on penalties?

  Written by Marc   Posted 5 August 2014

Yesterday 04 August 2014, SARS informed me, for the First Time, that there is a reoccurring penalty against me from 2007 - 2008. I resigned from my job as we were moving, so I only worked 2 months for that tax year earning only R9000.00 in total for the year.
I started to work again in 2011 and did my TAX returns, at that point SARS told me there where no outstanding penalties.
I have no proof of anything as legally I must keep papers for 5 years, thereafter I dispose of them.

What does "SARS has issued correspondence which requires your attention" mean?

  Written by Marc   Posted 4 August 2014

I've received an email from SARS stating "SARS has issued correspondence for xxxxx which requires your attention, to view either navigate to the respective work page or the SARS correspondence menu". When I go to the correspondence menu it tells me "there are no records available for your selection". So what does this email mean if there's nothing there? I've submitted my return and received a refund 2 days later.
Many thanks
Carol

  Written by Marc   Posted 4 August 2014

Since I don't charge rent, would the monthly levies that they pay be seen as an income to me from the apartment? (As the owner of the property, I would normally have to pay this). Expenses that I incur on the property are rates & taxes, bond interest and insurance. These expenses exceed the monthly levies....
