SARS Audit - Proof for sideline income



James says:

I'm being audited by SARS, they have asked me for bank statements and payslips. I do currently have a permanent job, but have a part time or side line job as well. The amounts I get paid to do the work is not a constant amount every month and some months has no income at all. These payments are either in cash or via eft which will be on my bank statements of course.

What would the impact on myself be from SARS? I complete my tax every year, but this is the first time I get asked to provide these documents together with my IRP5 and other supporting documents.

Do you have invoices for these amounts, else you can include the portions of the bank statements showing the money received, but SARS would prefer some more formal documentation.
