I am wondering if you can help me, I have been a casual laborer from October 2013 until the beginning of June 2015. I just got a sms saying that A penalty assessment notice has been issued on SARS eFiling for me, I have been earning less than R1500 a month from October 2013 until August 2015,then I was paid R3000 a month but only for four months and I have not been paid a salary from December until June 2015 I would get about R300 a week from my employer and sometimes I wouldn't get any money so what should I do as I am going to work overseas in two weeks? please help

Given your earnings you should not be paying tax and therefore should not have to file a return. You need to go to SARS with proof of your earnings and ask SARS to reverse the penalty.
