How can you claim a late person's tax money?



My father passed away last year and he didn't claim his tax money, so I want to know how can we claim his tax money?

I have recieved a statement of account from sars, but it does not state when SARS will pay me, will



I have just received a statement of account from SARS, but it does not state when SARS will pay me, will I need to contact them or something?

Can I still query my statement of assessment after the tax returns deadline?



I completed my first tax return via SARS eFiling early November (I have only been working for two years). After the SARS eFiling deadline, I checked to see my statement of assessment, and found it be by -20 cents. I am not sure if I filed correctly, but I was expecting a larger tax return. Is it too late for me to re-submit or correct my tax return, even though I initially completed it before the tax deadline?

Delay of refund due to audit and outstanding tax returns from 2005/2006



I have enjoyed many years of good refunds from SARS. ( round about R30 000. 00 per tax year) This year I had an audit and they then issued a letter of completion but flagged my account for an outstanding tax return for 2005 and 2006. With great difficulty I managed to get a copy of 2005 IRP5 but could only get proof of salary for 2006. These years of income were very small and simple as there was only a small car allowance to factor in. I have subsequently been selected for audit again on these small tax returns. My questions are :...

ITR12 for expats.



I currently live and work in the United Kingdom. Should I fill out the ITR12 as Unemployed? All postal correspondence is posted to my mother's address. Should I give my physical address in the UK and postal address as it is at the moment?

Late submission of supporting documents



I submitted a tax return on SARS eFiling. A letter requesting supporting docs was issued but I neglected to upload within specified time. An additional letter was issued 21 days later, when our practice was closed for the December holidays. Once the additional assessment was issued I only realised that the documents were never submitted. I uploaded the documents on the open link. The Sole Proprietor's expenses was denied against his income and now has a massive tax debt. During the year I submit...

Can't get hold of an old IRP5 and employer does not have it on record.



SARS has asked my wife to do her tax returns for the last 6 years (2008-2015). We have managed to get all the tax returns sorted expect for one IRP5 in 2009. She worked at two companies and has only one IRP5. We managed to get hold of the company she worked for, which is now closed, the family emigrated. They have an IRP5 from 2008, but they cannot find the IRP5 for 2009. They don't have it on any records. What are our options regarding the situation. I did a refresh on the SARS eFiling and noth...

Login failure with SARS Efiling



I've just tried to register with SARS eFiling & apparently I am registered. I have now tried to Login which doesn't work as I don't know what my login name or password is. I can only assume the previous consultant I used registered me without giving me any details.

How do I submit a late IRP5 for a previous tax year on SARS eFiling?



I have submitted my tax return for this year but have been told they won't pay out until I submit my outstanding tax returns from last year (fair enough). I wasn't earning a salary for most of last year but I believe I still need to submit the IRP5 which covers the last month of my employment with my previous company from that year. I got hold of my previous company and they sent through the form really quickly but I can't figure out how to submit for a previous year on SARS eFiling. The SARS he...

Still waiting for tax refund



It is more than 7 days now still waiting for my tax refund, is there ant problem with my tax returns?

I'm due for a refund but still owe SARS...



I'm due for a refund but there's a 'hold-up' as I owe SARS something from 2009. I'm not sure what to do fro this point forward - where or how do I find out what is owed - how can SARS be owing me when I owe them - why weren't there red flags or bold flashing print popping up when I completed my annual tax returns?
It's like they're hiding the fact that I owe them and I've now probably encured some hefty penalties and interest... ;(

What do I do?

Document/records storage



If I change to SARS eFiling with your assistance, where would my tax records be stored. & who stores them -- SARS, Myself, Tax Tim??

How do I create a SARS efiling form for outstanding 2009 tax year?



Upon filing my husband's tax returns for 2015, they asked for supporting documents (same as 2014) which I then submitted. After waiting for 2 weeks, I contacted SARS and they informed me that his tax return of 2009 had never been filed. He had a stroke in 2009 and after attempting to file his tax return unsuccessfully several times and not being able to get through to SARS, I presumed that it had been filed. Now 6 years later (after issuing a tax certificate of comliance earlier this year) they ...

Will I be penalized for not filling in a tax return for last year and this current year



I have been working for 2 years now, I started 3 December 2013 and I never filled in a tax return before.

Why is it taking so long to receive the pay out, is there something I missed ?



I submitted my tax return via SARS eFiling and received the ITA34 - and notifications saying that SARS owes me. I submitted the tax return on the 25th. People have been saying it takes between 2-3 days to receive a pay out and SARS sends a sms or email to say when the money will be paid. How come I have not heard anything yet?

SARS told me yesterday that I did not submit IRP5 for 2011, I have a copy, how do I submit it to them

Forgot to include something on tax return
