Am I liable for a penalty that was a SARS error because not disputed within reasonable timeframe?

Written by Marc
Posted 24 May 2013
I submitted a return for the first time myself in 2012. It was previously done by a colleague who was rather knowledgable. Each previous year (3 years) the outcome was a R0.00 balance as I do not have any medical aid, retirement, etc. Nothing had changed since then. She advised telephonically on how to submit and it was done.I have now received an sms last month (April 2013) stating that I am liable for R15k. Upon investigation with my HR department, they found that the income (IRP5 info) was du...

How many years of back-tax can you claim for?

Written by Marc
Posted 20 May 2013
I've been working part-time, although it is practically full-time, for the past five years. The work pays 25% of my incoming salary to tax. As I understand it I can claim for a portion of this money back, but have failed to do so in the past years. I just want to know if I can claim for previous years worked as well and what I will need to claim this. I do have my IRP 5's from the years of 2010, 2011 and 2012, 2013 not being out yet. Please help!
