Non Taxable Travel Allowanc exceeds maximum permissible. Source Code 3702

  Written by Marc  

On my IRP5 I have a Source code of 3702 which is for my non-taxable travel allowance. When I submitted my tax return I received a letter from SARS saying that I need to submit relevant documentation because my non taxable travel allowance exceeds maximum permissible. This is not true as my total amount was only R2211 which is clearly less than the permitted 8000km. As I did not keep a log book what relevant documentation do I need to submit? As I understand, since my travel allowance is less tha...

Reducing PAYE each month when paid by my employer?

  Written by Marc  

I receive a gross amount of R7000 a month from my employer.
Privately I pay medical aid and money to a Retirement annuity.

If I submit proof of this to my employer, can he reduce PAYE payments/deductions from my salary, taking into account these allowable deductions.

If my employer can do this does it then exclude me from having to file a tax return.

Do I submit an IPR6 form with my optional 3rd payment for provisional tax?

  Written by Marc  

On your provisional tax page, you say "two (or optionally three) payments are made during the tax year at the end of August and end of February, with an IRP6 required for each one."

There are IRP6 forms in eFiling for 2014-01 and 2014-02, but nothing for 2014-03. Do I need to submit an IRP6 form with my third payment (and, if so, where can I find that form in e-filing?), or do I just pay the additional money with no form?

SARS delayed claim on penalties?

  Written by Marc  

Yesterday 04 August 2014, SARS informed me, for the First Time, that there is a reoccurring penalty against me from 2007 - 2008. I resigned from my job as we were moving, so I only worked 2 months for that tax year earning only R9000.00 in total for the year.
I started to work again in 2011 and did my TAX returns, at that point SARS told me there where no outstanding penalties.
I have no proof of anything as legally I must keep papers for 5 years, thereafter I dispose of them.

Supporting documents requested from SARS - time and process?

  Written by Marc  

My tax return was submitted by my tax consultant on the 1st of July. On the 7th of July he informed me that SARS required supporting documents. I gave him the documents and (according to him) he submitted the documents to SARS. On the 30th of July I received a final notice to submit.

He says he is busy dealing with this and I should not worry. Should I worry? Why is this taking so long? Is it normal for a final letter if you submitted?

What does "SARS has issued correspondence which requires your attention" mean?

  Written by Marc  

I've received an email from SARS stating "SARS has issued correspondence for xxxxx which requires your attention, to view either navigate to the respective work page or the SARS correspondence menu". When I go to the correspondence menu it tells me "there are no records available for your selection". So what does this email mean if there's nothing there? I've submitted my return and received a refund 2 days later.
Many thanks
Carol
