Can an affidavit be summited if its too costly to obtain a 3 year bank statement

  Written by Marc  

Hi

please advice.. An auditor phoned me this morning to submit a 3 year bank statement for supporting documents since I submitted tax returns for 2013,2014 and 2015. The problem im facing is that a 3 year bankstatement costs R1800... Ive already given them a 1 year bank statement. My question is can I submit an affidavit for the other 2 years saying that I cant afford the R1800 cost of the bank statement which they need to see my parents medical contributions coming out of my account.

Refund withheld due to supporting documentation denied

  Written by Marc  

As this was my first year registering and submitting my tax return, I submitted all tax returns up to 2008. I was thus requested to provide supporting documentation for the 2013 tax year. I uploaded my IRP5 document as proof via SARS eFiling, but this was denied. I do not have any other documentation as I am not claiming for any expenses. I do not have medical aid, nor received travel/petrol allowance etc. I do however contribute to a retirement annuity fund which I have included in my 2014 and ...

No communication from SARS

  Written by Marc  

Hi Tim, 36 working days have now passed and still no word or refund from SARS. I submitted my documents for review on 10 July 2015. On following up recently, I was advised that the matter would be escalated and an agent would call me, still no call, no communication from SARS. It is getting a bit frustrating now as each time I call, I get the same answer, still busy with the audit. I know it can take 90 days, but surely once a matter has been escalated, the process should speed up somehow or do ...

Tax payment from salary

  Written by Marc  

If I am employed under a sole proprietor, and my salary has not deductions at every "pay-day" (eg. I don't received a salary advice reflecting deductions of PAYE or UIF).

I am really uncertain about all of these things, as in the past (before my retrenchment period prior to this job), the companies that I worked for did all of thes...
