What kind of supporting documents do I need as proof of my own medical expenses?

  Written by Evan   Posted 14 July 2015

What kind of supporting documents do I need as proof for medical expenses out of my own pocket?

Have to submit tax return for 2007

  Written by Evan   Posted 14 July 2015

I have been submitting my tax return since 2009 with no issues. I was audited last year as well as this year and recieved the ITSA notification to say the audit has been finalised and all is good. When I phoned to ask why has my credit amount due not been paid to me yet they say I need to do my tax return for 2007 which is 8 years ago. Why was this not an issue with the audit and no notification was given that 2007 is still outstanding?

Verification of Income Tax Return

  Written by Evan   Posted 14 July 2015

I am somewhat panicked after receiving a "Verification of Income Tax Return" notice and a "Request for Relevant Material" notice. The problem arose (I think) under amounts submitted to, but not recovered from, my medical aid. I have now submitted the certificate from my medical aid reflecting the amount, however, I still do not have access to my IRP5/IT3(a) from my employer. I am very worried as I have never had any issues with SARS.
