Audit/Verification duration

  Written by Marc   Posted 15 September 2015

Hi, I submitted my 2015 tax return and was selected for audit/verification. The supporting documents were uploaded on the same day (15/08/2015) I am not due for a refund, in fact I had to pay in a small amount, also paid on 15/08/2015. I have not heard anything back from SARS. How long does this normally take?

My account disappears and I can't log into my profile

  Written by Marc   Posted 14 September 2015

I have registered for SARS eFiling about 8 times now. They asked for supporting docs as my bank details changed. I have submitted these every single time. And I have faxed my registration form and ID to the number they sent me. But then when I want to log into my profile it keeps saying I have the wrong password. I dont. I have written everything down, after the 3rd attempt of registering I am making sure the info is correct. I get to the point where I supply them with the requested docs and the...

What must I do when they require me to file last years tax return? This year was my first filing

  Written by Marc   Posted 14 September 2015

This was the first year I've filed a tax return. But I have paying tax via my salary for 4 years. Main reason I haven't filed in the past was because I was told on my salary amount, it was not required. After filing this year I was awarded a refund of R2300 odd. Having been waiting a while for them to pay the money to my accounts. I decided to give them a call and ask what the hold up was. They say they require me to file my tax return for the previous year for them to proceed?

They said amount to you is R0.00. What is the 1st payment and 2nd payment for?

  Written by Evan   Posted 14 September 2015

I have submitted my IRP5 in my tax return to SARS. I received this message:

Amount R0. 00 due to you. Date of payment: 1st date 2015-10-01 and 2nd 2015-10-31.

What does it mean?

Should I spend time/energy requesting IRP5s every year?

  Written by Evan   Posted 14 September 2015

Is it worth asking for copies of the IRP5's if they were provided to SARS by the employers/investment houses already?

Since all three were provided directly to SARS and have pre-populated the e-filing, I did not receive my own copies. If SARS decides to audit my tax return would I need to request them or would SARS be satisfied that they actually already have these?

CPT payment on money held for 3rd party.

  Written by Marc   Posted 9 September 2015

I have a parent whom gave me money a couple of years back to place in an investment in my name. Recently the entire investment was cashed out and transferred back to said parent. I now have been issued with and IT3(c) reflecting this. My questions are as follows:

1) Though it is not stated on the IT3(c), do I need to pay CPT on the proceeds (SARS code 4205)?
2) If I need to pay CPT, as this money did not belong to me (though the investment was in my name, I did not derive any benefit from it), is there a way in which the CPT can reflect against the party whom the money belonged to?...

How does "Interest on underpayment of prov tax" work?

  Written by Evan   Posted 8 September 2015

I've done my 2012 tax return only now and I see the original assessment is R14,693.15. Now another item that is listed is:

Interest on underpayment of prov tax. Section 89quat(2) 2012 to the amount of R3,884.46.

I just want to know is that value correct, and how is that calculated. I guess it is that "high" because of this part in that section?:

"... Such interest being calculated from the effective date in relation to the said year until the date of assessment of such normal tax. "...
