Audit / Verification Posts in Tax Q&A

Status field says "Correction filed"

  Written by Evan  

IT12 was submitted to SARS 14th July via SARS eFiling, and was immediately selected for verification or audit, so the documents were uploaded & submitted via SARS eFiling the same day. However when checking it is still reflecting status as "correction filed" and no documents for review have been received. Why is this?

Must I submit the log book when submiting on SARS efiling?

  Written by Evan  

Morning,
I need to do SARS e-filing. What I would like to ask is does the travel log book have to be attached or only on request by SARS? The log book has been done manually in a book so I will have to transfer all that information into digital form but thought I could go ahead do e-filing without attaching it, and then if they request then I could do a digital form of the logbook and send it to them. Is this right?

Outstanding tax return is holding up my refund, I cannot get the IRP5 as employer is deceased.

  Written by Evan  

Hey Taxtim. I submitted my tax returns on the 10th of July this year. SARS informed me that I would get a refund of about R17000, which I desperately need. After a few days I called them to ask when I might receive this refund, they informed me that they are not going to give it to me yet as I have outstanding tax returns for 2012.

I did not have this issue last year when I filled or the previous year. I worked for a company from February 2011 until August 2011, I was never issued an IRP5 or any payslip. ...

Changed jobs and paid too much tax - can I claim it back?

  Written by Evan  

I had a low income job for 11 months of the year. My yearly income would have been under the threshold, so I never paid any tax. I am not sure if my employer registered me, but I never received any tax documents or tax number. In February 2015 I started a new job with a higher salary. My yearly salary now puts me above the threshold and my new employer registered me and I've been paying tax since Feb. But since I only did this job for 1 month of the last tax year, my yearly income for 2014/2015 tax year remains under the threshold of R70 700. ...
