I do not have any supporting documents



Hi Tim

I have started submitting my Tax in 2012. Now they asked for 2011. I was only working about 6 months in 2011. When I called my previous employer he said he cant give me any documents as he has lost it all in a robbery. SARS is asking for supporting documents for 2011 and I don't have anything (not even medical aid etc).
What do I do ?

Thank you
Lara
