SARS tells me that I received a fringe benefit filed under Code 3808 and that I now owe them

Posted 17 September 2013

SARS tells me that I received a fringe benefit filed under Code 3808 and that I now owe them R15 000! I do not receive any benefits as such and Payroll confirms that there is no error on my IRP5.

Is there something that I have not claimed or acknowledged?

When you submitted your ITR12, was there an amount next to 3808 on the IRP5/IT3a on the return?

Yes. Around R30 000.

And that was not supposed to be there? You can click the dispute button and file a Notice of Objection with SARS and explain what happened. Get your employer to write a letter stating no Fringe Benefit and submit that as well.
