accidently claiming for longer than I should have

Posted 11 September 2014

Hi Tim...Tx for your helpfull blog..i have handed in my tax forms together with the amount I claimed. When I packed my receipts etc away I noticed I made an error...I have by accident claimed for a longer period...up till September 2014. I noticed my mistake and redone it but being in a hurry I grabbed the wrong document in the morning.Needless to say I received an sms from SARS wanting me to send my receipts etc. to them.my plan was to go back on this Friday to rectify the mistake but I feel like such a fool and red in my face! of course ill have to go in as it was requested that I do. I claimed for R18000 but it only amounts to R5000...what is going to happen to my case now.(That happens if you do your tax 3 o clock in the morning!

Don't worry when you go in just explain what happened and take your correct receipts with you and nothing will happen to you!

Thanks for the support!
