I've recently had the misfortune of getting a tax penalty of over R16500.00 It was deducted from my provident fund without my knowledge. A further R7000.00 was deducted from the same provident fund pay out. Please advise me if I can dispute this after it has been deducted; if not I'm fine with it. However, I got a statement from SARS more than two weeks later referring to these penalties. I'm not sure what this statement means.

You're able to dispute the penalties by completing a form called a request for remission which you'll find on SARS eFiling or you can just go into a SARS office and do it with a SARS consultant's help. The only catch is that you need to ensure that all your tax returns are submitted.
