Refund gets reversed by your bank 3x and SARS then suddenly requestes for docs but not Audit?

  Written by Marc  

Hi TaxTim

I submitted my SARS return on 02/07/14. I requested a statement of account to see if I was selected for an audit and the answer was No.... even today when I request a new statement it says No. So what happened was, on the 3rd/4th and 5th of July 2014, FNB had technical problems, and they reversed all payments from any one that went to FNB accounts. With my luck - it was my SARS refund. So on Tuesday (the 7th of July) I received a message - request for supporting documents, ...

Retirement & Provident Withdrawal Tax Refund

  Written by Marc  

Good day, on the 25 January 2014 I changed employment and had a withdrawal from my previous employees Retirement and Provident funds of approximately R57200.00 each and I only got approx R42000 deposited in my bank on each. I was taxed on both payouts but does not seem like I am getting a refund on them. On my ITR12 I can see the one payout from Liberty (R57200.00 on source code 3920) but not the other and my issue is that my total rebate is only R 74.00. I really dont think this seems right?
