Elias says: 29 June 2023 at 18:37 Good day, I am writing to ask if it would be possible to make corrections to 2020 tax return assessment. I would like to include the home office expenses claim as I did work from home during the covid 19 lock down period. Looking forward to your response. |

TaxTim says: 29 June 2023 at 21:51 An objection must be submitted within 80 business days after the date of the assessment or SARS decision. If you lodged a request for reason for the assessment, the objection must be submitted within 80 business days after: The date of the notice sent by SARS that adequate reasons have been provided and that no further reasons will be provided; or The date SARS provided you with the reasons/further reasons. Your 2020 assessment was issued on 2021/11/12, thus the dispute should have been submitted before 2022/02/08. Due to this, you are unfortunately not able to file a dispute with SARS for the 2020 tax year. Previously SARS allowed one to lodge a dispute or resubmit your return within 3 years from the date of assessment, however, due to excessive delays from the taxpayer and the assessment centre, SARs reduced this time frame to try and deal with all tax disputes in fairness. |
