Glen says: 4 July 2015 at 15:10 Hi Tim. I was the bookkeeper for a cc until end Jan 2015 when they closed doors. The only member passed away in Dec 2014 with no will. I have contacted the attorneys who will be dealing with his estate to ask them for my IRP5. Their response was that they have been waiting for 4 months to be appointed as executors and do not know when they will be appointed. How do I submit my tax return this year? I went to SARS with payslips and bank statements and they advised that they can not assist in obtaining the IRP5. They've only got the Aug 2014 submission on file which I did back when I was still working for the cc. I am worried that this will not be resolved by Nov if I don't start asking now. |

It is unfortunate that this has happened, but can you as the bookkeeper not prepare the final accounts for submission? |

Glen says: 5 July 2015 at 14:14 Hi Tim. Thank you for the response. I can not complete the return as I do not know what happened in the books after I left on sick leave in January 2015. I do not know what they paid in February 2015 and I don't know how the company closed. I also do not have access to the bank statements to check. I don't know if they are going to pay the employees packages (retrenched) etc. Therefore I do not know what the final salary calculations were for February 2015. I whish I could submit the EMP501 as this would make my life a lot easier. I'll then just have to wait on the executor to be appointed. |
