can you supply SARS with bak statements



SARS asked me to submit supporting documents.I work for commission so I have a lot of deductions. As I didn't have ALL my slips, I submitted my bank statements and indicated on them what deductions I made. I also attached my garage card statement. However they didn't accept any of these deductions!

Is it possible?

They can yes, SARS has the power to disallow any deductions they do not seem valid. You would need to dispute their decision by clicking on the dispute button and filing a Notice of Objection and attach a letter indicating where you think you are valid and they have been mistaken. Be sure to have as much proof as possible as SARS could impose fines for what they consider to be incorrect submissions.
