Do I pay tax on my pension savings that were transferred to a preservation fund when I resigned?

  Written by Marc

Does this mean I will be taxed on my preservation of my pension fund savings?

Refund gets reversed by your bank 3x and SARS then suddenly requestes for docs but not Audit?

  Written by Marc  

Hi TaxTim

I submitted my SARS return on 02/07/14. I requested a statement of account to see if I was selected for an audit and the answer was No.... even today when I request a new statement it says No. So what happened was, on the 3rd/4th and 5th of July 2014, FNB had technical problems, and they reversed all payments from any one that went to FNB accounts.
