Does an additional assessment affect the first assessment of my tax return?

  Written by Marc   Posted 4 August 2013

I have submitted my tax return and was then selected for audit/verification. I submitted the supporting documents and SARS indicates that they have received the documents, but does not indicate if the assessment has been finalised. They have issued me with an additional assessment (a second one), but this didn't affect my initial assessment. Does it mean that I will be refunded with the amount due to me as per the initial assessment?

I got a Verification of Assessment letter - when do I get my refund?

  Written by Marc   Posted 2 August 2013

I filed my return on the 19th July 2013 and got a letter indicating that I should submit supporting documents. On the 30th I submitted the supporting documents and on 31st I received a verification of assessment indicating that there has been no adjustment. However, the original adjustment show that I have a refund. On checking my e-file profile the status reads: correction filed.

My tax position at the end of February 2014 after I received income from two different employers

  Written by Marc   Posted 1 August 2013

Hi Tim

From my permanent employer I received R5000.00 per month which was increased to R5500.00 per month from July 2013. My contract for this job comes to an end half way through January 2014, therefore being 10.5 months of the 2014 tax year. My employer does deduct any amount for PAYE.

From February 2013 to August 2013 (being a 6 month contract) I had a part time job (being a different employer), where I received R3000.00 per month. My employer here deducted R750.00 per month for PAYE....

Tax code not entered on IRP5 for tax exemption. How do I get this fixed?

  Written by Marc   Posted 31 July 2013

I have worked out of the country last year for more than 183 days and 60 days continuous.
We do not do this every year, so my employer did not enter the tax code under (Reason for Non deduction of employees tax) (4150) . They said it is to difficult now to change it.

What will I be able to do, to get this fixed, it will probably only be for one last year. Should I go to the Tax office and try to explain?

Thanks
