Can an affidavit be summited if its too costly to obtain a 3 year bank statement

  Written by Marc   Posted 3 September 2015

Hi

please advice.. An auditor phoned me this morning to submit a 3 year bank statement for supporting documents since I submitted tax returns for 2013,2014 and 2015. The problem im facing is that a 3 year bankstatement costs R1800... Ive already given them a 1 year bank statement. My question is can I submit an affidavit for the other 2 years saying that I cant afford the R1800 cost of the bank statement which they need to see my parents medical contributions coming out of my account.

Would he able to apply for a portion of the exemtion for being out the country for 60 days

  Written by Marc   Posted 3 September 2015

I have a client who was out the country from October 2014-December 2014-although his contract is from Oct 2014-Oct 2015 he completed his 66 consecutive days out the country. He came back and only flew out again end of Feb 2015. Because his contracted only started in October 2014, he would have completed the 183 days from Oct-Oct. Would he get a portion of exemption for the 60 consecutive days because its within the 2015 tax year.

Hi Tim, 36 working days have now passed and still no word or refund from SARS. I submitted my documents for review on 10 July 2015.
