Dear Tim
I was unemployed for the tax period 2014/2015 and received 0 income. I however paid my monthly medical for my spouse and one adult dependent which totaled R62,064.00 and unclaimed from the medical aid of R2,874.00.
I completed my tax return with the medical aid section, unfortunately did not receive a refund. The calculation on SARS eFiling allowed for an amount of R16,200.00 plus tax credits of R8,232.00 and further tax credits of R8,002.00 but the final total was R0.00....

Good day. I filled my tax via SARS e filing for 201 and it triggered an audit. I got a refund after providing the docs, then after a few days I decided to call the SARS call centre. The guy on the other side told me that I need to file for 2009 and 2011 and that I made a mistake and I filed for provisional tax. They fined me for R2900 interest, now I owe them according to the efilling at the SARS branch. They were not very helpful either, the lady told me I must jus...

I have submitted my 2015 tax on the 01 July 2015 on SARS eFiling and I had a refund of R2200.00 and now SARS told me that I have an outsanding tax return for 2006, however I request my tax return on SARS eFiling for FY 2006 its not populated with the figures even if I refresh my IT12. Also when I my IRP5 from my previous employee this the request I have got:
Tax law only requires us to keep IRP5's for 5 years. However, we have them saved electronically going back to 2008 so if we are able to help the contractor, we will of course do so at no charge, but unfortunately, the IRP5's from prior to 2008 have been archived and are stored offsite...

Last year all my outstanding previous years 2006 to 2014 was brought up to date via SARS eFiling and finally having to go into SARS to submit documents. After accumulative penalties deducted (R14k) and an audit I still managed to get a refund which was paid to me 15 July 2014 (11k).
This season 1 July 2015 I submitted my tax return, again I was selected for audit. SARS requested supporting docs which I submitted as per notification and I'm due a refund. Today I contacted SARS to inquire what the hold up was regarding my refund (R5k) and was informed that I owe SARS R4k which I have to settle first before I can receive my refund. ...

Hi Tim;
I recently completed and sent my tax return via SARS eFiling. I was selected for auditing and asked to provide supporting documents. I have nothing complicated going-on: I earn income only from my employer. All my benefits and deductions with respect to retirement fund and medical aid are all reflected on my IRP5 i.e. I don't have a personal retirement annuity or medical aid scheme outside of those in my salary package; as reflected on my IRP5. So what could be the problem?
