No IRP5 for previous years?

Posted 5 July 2013

Thanks for a great site! My question is I did my return on the 2nd July and I'm due for a refund. My concern though is I have been working for - 5years but this was my first return. Is it possible that SARS can penalise me for not filing in the previous years? There are no other IRP5's loaded on my profile so how would I know if I would need to file for those years.

Please assist, thanking you in advance!

If you only registered as a taxpayer now and SARS were unaware of you before or you you did not earn enough to submit or pay tax then you should be in the clear.
