SARS does not want to pay me the money it owes me.

Good day, SARS owes me money, had to go through the ombudsman to prove this, successfully did so however, SARS now requires that I prove that I actually did pay an amount I owed 2 years back before they refund me. My question is: is that even legally allowed/required of me or is it foul play from SARS? Thank you for your assistance

You would need to speak with the ombudsman, but our advice is that you should show them the proof to avoid any further issues with SARS. Otherwise we do advise speak to a lawyer about this.
