Do I have to spend 63 days out of the country before 28 February 2016 to not pay tax?

  Written by Evan   Posted 30 November 2015

I am a commission earner and earned R 486 342 but my tax assessment states that I owe SARS R2327719

  Written by Marc   Posted 28 November 2015

I am an estate agent, I've submit my tax returns and have received a shocking assessment of R2,327,719. 96
I earned R486 342,00 in commission from selling property. I suspect I might have made an error where I was asked about turnover and I put the value of the properties that I sold which is about R7,000,000 and am afraid SARS wants to tax me on that whereas I only received and average commission of about 5%. Kindly advise how I rectify this.
