  Written by Nicci   Posted 9 March 2016

If a person is sequestrated, then the person gets a new tax number. How come E-Filing still has the old details of which I had to change it myself to the new tax number. What happens to the old tax returns on the old tax number. How come I get audited every time after sequestration and sometimes I have to pay in even after I over deducted PAYE the one year?

So lets say I earn 30000 rand per month, but I only worked for three months in the financial year, should I still pay the same amount of tax as a person who earned 30000 rand per month for a whole year? or how does it work for people that didn't work the entire year?

  Written by Marc   Posted 7 March 2016

I submitted my tax return through SARS eFiling on 20/11/2015 and it was confirmed that I am entitled to a refund but has not been paid yet.

However, if I remember correctly, the initial tax return after I submitted was the amount for those medical expenses but when I checked the status of that tax return now, It was almost R200 less. This also happened with my 2014 tax return!...

To use your service, I need to identify as either provisional or individual. I haven't yet registered as a provisional taxpayer on SARS (I'm meant to do that now), and have been earning income for about six months now, as a freelancer. If I want to use your service, do I select the provisional tax payer package, or do I have to officially register as a prov. Tax payer over SARS eFiling first?
