Anneke says: 12 February 2016 at 13:28 My previous employer refuses to provide me with my 2013 IRP5, which resulted into me paying an penalty amount. I was told that I should provide SARS with an sworn affidavit to prove that one cannot produce the document they requested. Is that true? I would also like to know if you provide SARS with the affidavit, do you still need to pay the penalty amount? |
TaxTim says: 12 February 2016 at 14:45 No you can have the penalty reversed. It is true about the affidavit, what is your employer's excuse in this regard? |
Anneke says: 12 February 2016 at 15:49 No reason, they just failed to provide me with a copy of my IRP5 2013 which I asked for on numerous occasions telephonically and via email from early December 2015 to date. If I provide SARS with an affidavit will the penalty amount be reversed automatically or will there be some sort of investigation? |
TaxTim says: 12 February 2016 at 16:40 When you give the them affidavit they will reassess and and reverse the penalty. |
