I started TaxTim then my consultant did my ITR12 for me. Must I still pay?

  Written by Marc   Posted 2 September 2013

Hi Tim

I have very ignorantly gone through the steps in completing the return on your system and had entered incorrect information. My confusion resulted out of the fact that my employer issued two returns - one for the commission and one for my basic salary. Not knowing what to do, I spoke to my ex consultant and he submitted the ITR12s for me.

Would I still need to pay you?

Can appeals be made to have assessment for previous year to be redone, with new evidence?

  Written by Marc   Posted 1 September 2013

Hallo. For the last number of years my wife has been paying for our medical aid, via a direct debit every month. The medical aid is however in my name.

I have found out, from SARS, that my wife can get the benefit from this on her tax return, all she needs to do is to provide proof, e.g. bank statements etc, that she has paid for it or get letter from medical aid in that regard. This would suffice for this tax year. However last tax year, we did not do it like this, since I submitted it with my tax return and got no benefit from it, since my income was not large enough...

Could SARS refund my tax to a UK bank account or does it have to be to a SA account?

  Written by Marc   Posted 28 August 2013

Hi Tim,
I worked in South Africa last year as UK citizen and have put in a tax return. It's calculated quite a bit back but now I have a message that reads 'AVS Bank with AVS verification pass'. I am back in the UK and SARS have said I can make someone power of attorney on my behalf, which I have duly done. They have agreed to take my paperwork to the SARS office with certified copy of my passport and my last ABSA bank statement.

My question is, to make life easier could SARS refund my tax to a UK bank account or does it have to be to my South Africa ABSA account?...
