Learnership tax return

Posted 24 November 2015

SARS says that I have an outstanding tax return for 2010, I was on a learnership through BankSETA which did not contribute for PAYE and UIF, the stipend was R2500 a month.

Medical aid claim for claims submitted after year end

Posted 23 November 2015
