Do I *have* to submit additional documentation?

Posted 2 July 2013

I am a provisional taxpayer, and have been filing my returns for a couple of years. After filing my latest return, SARS says that I owe them R10, and also requested additional documentation.

Can I just pay the R10 and leave the "additional documentation"? It seems like a ton of schlep to scan all the documents, just to save on the R10!

In theory you could leave it, but then if you were to ever be due a refund in the future you wouldn't be able to receive it as this year's return wouldn't be resolved.

I guess it's better to get the scanner out then. Thanks!

As much of a hassle as it may be, in the long run with SARS being very sticky on these matters it is worth the effort.
