What supporting documentation does SARS usually look for when assessing if depreciation/wear and tear on your cell phone is an allowable deduction. Please note that my cellphone is paid via a monthly contract fee. These contracts usually don't stipulate the base price of the phone. Furthermore, what support do you need to give them for the allocation of business use versus private use. I have tried to search and ask what they need as they wanted to verify this deduction, however, I cannot seem t...

I have a question regarding renouncing U. S. Citizenship and filing U. S. Taxes. I have used Person A and B for this example. June 4, 2014 â%u20AC%u201C Person A and B renounced their U. S. Citizenship at the U. S. Consulate General. March 12, 2015 â%u20AC%u201C Person Aâ%u20AC%u2122s Certificate of Loss of Nationality was approved by the Department of State in Washington, DC.

I emailed SARS to enquire why my 2015/2015 tax returns have not been paid to me yet and they replied saying my 2011/2012 tax returns were not submitted so until they receive that then they will be able to pay me. However I received my 2012/2013 tax returns with no problems as well as my 2013/2014 tax returns as well. I don't really understand this because in 2011 - 2012 I only had a casual job for 2 months in which my wages were way below a tax bracket and I had no medical payments of my own nor...

The person assist me and after signing the document the computer showed that I am being assessed and the agent said sorry but there is nothing he can do. On the SARS eFiling website I tried to upload documents but without success. Remember I did take the...

Hi there,
I submitted my tax rerun for this year and SARS have requested returns for 2011 and 2012. Since they didn't ask for these last year, am I correct in assuming that I didn't need to submit them in the past and will therefor not be penalized?
Also, my 2012 return has been selected for verification. Im assuming this is a random selection or perhaps because the three returns together equate to a refund due to me of around R12 000. I cant see any other reason fo...

Hi there, my wife is due a refund, after following up with SARS they said she needs to submit a return for 2009. The problem as you advised in your article (https://www. Taxtim. Com/za/blog/sars-isnt-paying-my-refund-they-want-my-old-returns) is that there is zero chance of acquiring those old documents now. Is her only option a police affadavit?
How does she submit a return on eFiling, when there is no record of it on there? (This is what SARS said she must do. . . )
Can you submit a nil return for older years, even if she obviously was employed but there is tax documentation?...

I submitted my tax return for 2015, I then went back and removed the actual values for repairs and maintenance for my vehicle as I do not have proof of all the records like my insurance, I only have proof of the fuel and maintenance. I then went to my 2014 return and requested a correction as I wanted the the values removed for the cost of my repair expenses. I made these changes on the 1 st of July 2015 and as per usual, I was selected for an audit. According to the call center, they have all t...
