SARS is requesting an old IRP5 which I don't have as its 5 years ago, My previous company doesn't exist anymore. I have contacted the accounting co at that time they also don't have it. Now SARS refuses to pay me out until I get the Old IRP5 from 5 years ago. Please assist how to go about getting this sorted

You can go to your local police station and Swear an affidavit stating reasons why you cannot obtain the IRP5. You can then take this to SARS together with payslips or bank statements (if you have) that would justify your earnings for that year.
