selected for audit

  Written by Marc   Posted 14 October 2012

I was asked to submit my supporting documentation - which was for medical aid only and was selected for audit. I called SARS to find out what was happening as I had a refund due but all they could say was that the type of Audit I was selected for can take between 3 and 12 months. My tax return is not complicated but I do pay for the family's medical aid.

Thank you

I would like to start importing small quantities of goods, for resale, into South Africa as a Sole Proprietor. Now as far as I can tell I will need to complete the following forms at SARS to get an Importers Code: DA185 and DA 185.4A1.
