Medical aid contributions for Parents not on my membership

Posted 19 August 2015

I currently pay for my parents medical aid. They are both pensioners and they do not submit tax returns to SARS. They are on their own medical aid membership, and I am on my own.

Audit taking forever - now escalated ?

Posted 18 August 2015

Hi guys, I submitted my tax return on the 1st July. My tax return was assessed and it was shown that a payout was due but I was selected for an Audit. After waiting 31 days I phoned and they acknowledged that this had taken longer than the stipulated time and escalated my query... I was told this could take a further 21 days???

Are we really at the mercy of the system or is there any other recourse we can take? (straight forward tax return - no vehicle allowance etc. )
