Which tax year do provisional tax payers use in August 2013 and how do they find out current values?

As a provisional tax payer, surely one pays tax at the end of August 2013 on the basis of what has been earned from March 2013 to end August 2013 and this would be for the 2014 tax year. I also have difficulty finding out current It3 (c) values.

Could SARS refund my tax to a UK bank account or does it have to be to a SA account?

Posted 28 August 2013

Hi Tim,
I worked in South Africa last year as UK citizen and have put in a tax return. It's calculated quite a bit back but now I have a message that reads 'AVS Bank with AVS verification pass'. I am back in the UK and SARS have said I can make someone power of attorney on my behalf, which I have duly done. They have agreed to take my paperwork to the SARS office with certified copy of my passport and my last ABSA bank statement.

My question is, to make life easier could SARS refund my tax to a UK bank account or does it have to be to my South Africa ABSA account?...
