Veline says: 5 April 2016 at 14:24 What do you do if you have an outstanding SARS tax return for 2011 if you do not have an IRP5 for that tax year since the company you were working for cannot be found/traced? I was working on a contract basis and do not recall ever receiving an IRP5 for that year. I have submitted tax returns before and was never made aware of any outstanding tax returns. Only now that SARS needs to pay me money back do they mention that there is an outstanding tax return for 2011. How does there system work? I did my claims every year and have received money back in 2013, but the system never indicated that I have an outstanding tax return. Could you please advise. |

If you cannot get your IRP5's for those years then you can go to the police station and swear an affidavit stating such and submit that to SARS. |
