Old 2009/2010 efiling returns

  Written by Nicci   Posted 17 July 2017

SARS say they upgraded their system and have now seen i did not file a tax return in 2009,2010 and have fined me for each year. Both years i was under the threshold but they are insisting i file these returns. I do not have the IRP5 anymore and the company no longer exists. They advised that I open the return on efiling and can then submit as it should have all the info, I have done this but there is no earning/medical aid information etc.
How do i resolve this now as both returns are now sitting open on efiling and i am getting fined R250 per month now that i do not resubmit....

  Written by Alicia   Posted 10 July 2017

I submitted my tax on the 03/07 and a couple of days after that I got a new

  Written by Alicia   Posted 17 February 2017

I submitted an income tax return as farming sole prop for 2016. SARS requested supporting documentation and then I uploaded an income statement.
