Based on the above, is the audit still in progress

  Written by Marc   Posted 11 July 2014

I submitted my Tax Return and was subsequently advised that it has been selected for Audit and they requested several documents which I duly submitted.

A few days later I got a call from a Lady from the Alberton offices saying she was auditing my return and after verifying a couple of questions, she advised me that the return has now been assessed and she will forward it for quality checks. When I check the efiling status it shows a negative balance of R 37 000 and indicates that the ...

Banking detail verification at SARS?

  Written by Marc   Posted 10 July 2014

Good day Tim,
My banking details changed and I had to go into SARS to verify the banking details. Everything was done and I did sign the change off electronically.

Hi Tim

Retirement & Provident Withdrawal Tax Refund

  Written by Marc   Posted 10 July 2014

Good day, on the 25 January 2014 I changed employment and had a withdrawal from my previous employees Retirement and Provident funds of approximately R57200.00 each and I only got approx R42000 deposited in my bank on each. I was taxed on both payouts but does not seem like I am getting a refund on them. On my ITR12 I can see the one payout from Liberty (R57200.00 on source code 3920) but not the other and my issue is that my total rebate is only R 74.00. I really dont think this seems right?

Transfer from one retirement annuity fund to another - how to handle on efiling?

  Written by Marc   Posted 10 July 2014

During the 2013/2014 tax year I moved a retirement annuity from one fund to another. As part of this process the accumulated value in the "old" RA was paid over as a lump sum into the "new" RA.

As a result, the "old" fund issued me with an IT3a for the lump sum payout. This IT3a used code 3920 for the lump sum payout, with an additional code 4 indicating it is a tax exempt lump sum payment (there is also a tax directive number on the IT3a).

How do I handle this on eFiling when completing my income tax return?...
