Hello
I submitted my tax return and it said that I was due a refund of about R800. I then went through my medical expenses and saw I made a mistake in my calculations. So I went and corrected it (originally my medical expenses out of pocket was R8900, after I corrected it it was about R8200). Now it says I owe them about R200! I do not earn enough to do e-filing in the first place, I submit because of my medical expenses. Please help?!

This R200 needs to be read along with the original R800 so if you look at the second paragraph on the second assessment should show the actual balance owing to you of R600.

Thank you so much for your help. I cannot view the assessment PDFs, and I have the latest software. If I had seen it I would have realised what was going on â%u02DCº. Thanks once again

Only a pleasure! Make use of Internet Explorer that works for SARS eFiling. Or next time use TaxTim - we sent plain text assessments from SARS so you don't need to open PDFS :)
