It has been mentioned to me that there may be a system called per diem, in which one may be able to claim a $ allowance amount per day spent across the border. Do you know anything about such a system and if so, how does it work?

This resulted in me owing SARS R3,500. I requested a correction, which was done, and my corrected 2013 return reflects that SARS owes me a refund of R1,600. However, the erroneous R3,500 refund figure is still reflected on my statement of account. So SARS is requesting that I pay the remaining balance of R3,500-R1,600. ...
