Need to submit tax returns for previous years as British citizen

  Written by Evan   Posted 15 July 2015

I am a British citizen and have been in SA since April 2013. I started work at my sole employer in October 2013 but have only just got around to organising a tax number! How do I go about submitting tax returns for previous years? Am I right in thinking that as I am a foreigner I can't use SARS eFiling?

SARS pay date for refund - 21 days?

  Written by Evan   Posted 15 July 2015

Good day. For the tax year 2015 I filed my tax return at the branch then called to follow up when they paying me. I was told I need to file the outstanding 2011 and 2012 tax return. I registered for e-filing and did that on Saturday then Sunday morning I was sent a statement of account. It says "selected for audit", so I called the call centre to follow up again when I'm getting paid. They say up to 21 working days, is this right?

Have to submit tax return for 2007

  Written by Evan   Posted 14 July 2015

I have been submitting my tax return since 2009 with no issues. I was audited last year as well as this year and recieved the ITSA notification to say the audit has been finalised and all is good. When I phoned to ask why has my credit amount due not been paid to me yet they say I need to do my tax return for 2007 which is 8 years ago. Why was this not an issue with the audit and no notification was given that 2007 is still outstanding?

Verification of Income Tax Return

  Written by Evan   Posted 14 July 2015

I am somewhat panicked after receiving a "Verification of Income Tax Return" notice and a "Request for Relevant Material" notice. The problem arose (I think) under amounts submitted to, but not recovered from, my medical aid. I have now submitted the certificate from my medical aid reflecting the amount, however, I still do not have access to my IRP5/IT3(a) from my employer. I am very worried as I have never had any issues with SARS.

Awaiting refund after re-assessment

  Written by Evan   Posted 13 July 2015

I have submitted my returns on the 2/7/2015. I was requested to submit supporting documents, which I did on the same day and the SARS efilings status shows this. The returns where then re-assessed and I received notification of a second ITA34 on the 7/7/2015. It is now the 10/7/2015 and have not received my refund. Does this mean that I am being audited. And if not, why the delay?
