Did you request a recalculation or objection? I received notice from my employer our pension contributions weren't imported to our assessment forms from our IRP5 correctly.

I'll wait for the funds to reflect then dispute or request for recalculation.
 
Anyone else have all their extra medical expenses removed from the Assessment?
I submitted all the relevant documents for the audit and the next I know they remove all the medical expenses and reduce the amount that they owe me.

I phoned them yesterday and was told to either wait to see if they request my documentation again or request for a correction.

Any advice regarding this?
 
Ok... Went to the branch again this morning.
Reason I haven't been refunded yet is because the system says that I have outstanding returns and not that I'm being audited.

Reason for this is that I have 3 "active" income tax numbers. 2 of these were requested to be closed in 2015 (still have the old case numbers) and was told everything was sorted. The lady could also see that these requests were filed in 2015.

She now requested that my real "active" account be corrected and that the 2 old ones be closed (once again). May take up to 21 days. Will follow next Friday just to see if there is progress...
 
Ok so SARS doubled paid me, i completed my returns on the 1st july and got paid soon after. Yesterday i received another sms and paid this morning:D wtf do i do
 
Completed on 3rd
3rd got IT34 R11.5K refund paid on 4th into account
14th second IT34 "reduced amount" -R3.5K
18th refund in my account
Happy this year.
 
Noticed SARS has a little bug in their system, was told that they would fix it during the audit process.

Multiple company provided vehicles.

SARS works on the tax rebate / tax assessment as follows, fringe benefit x business km / total km. However if you are allocated more than one vehicle over the assessment year, then each vehicle has to be loaded with the business KM traveled.


So for example:

Car 1 = fringe benefit x business km / total km

Car 2 = fringe benefit x business km / total km


1) Problem comes in when it does the calculation for each car. You end up getting a rebate assessment well in excess of what the rebate is supposed to be. So again example on some real life figures:

Car 1 = R130 000 x 33km / 66km = R65000

Car 2 = R130 000 x 1324km / 9654km = R17828


2) So one can see that R82828 is well in excess of how the business km traveled should have been audited. Instead I have been told the following should have happened:

Total car = fringe benefit x sum of business km / sum of total km

Total car = R130 000 x 1357km / 9720km = R18149


This is the problem I am sitting with now, my return has been marked for Audit and I have to wait for the guys to fix it before I get a new assessment amount.

Did you earn less than the minimum taxable amount and thus expect to get all your PAYE back?

Provident contributions is retirement contributions (the are all now treated the same), so no, can't be the reason.

So after looking at the reason he states i overstated the medical aid tax credits but i pay for my parents medical aid and i did send them both medical aid tax certificates
 
I submitted on the 5th, got a notification of audit and the completion was done on the 14th.
Still no payment

I submitted my tax return last night and SARS say I owe them R11250 :(. I'll lodge a dispute and go to their branch to find out why I owe them that much.

After I rechecked my submission, I realized I didn't add my non-taxable income. I submitted again, and SARS now owe me R0.57.
 
RA contributions - only R1 carried forward from 2016 tax year

I lodged a dispute (NOO) with all supporting documentation on efiling on 4th July 2017 i.c.w. my RA contributions in the 2016 tax year that were carried forward and where only R1 was brought forward to the 2017 tax year. Have heard nothing yet. SARS told me it takes up to up to 60 working days - 3 months to action the dispute! I find this disconcerting as it is their error and is quite straight forward to resolve! Have there been any other experiences by forum members i.c.w. resolution of this topic with SARS? How long does it normally take for a dispute like this to be actioned?

On the 14th they fixed that for most people (you will see reduced assessment in efiling if they did). On the 11 they fixed it for my mom after the NOO logged on 1st (read back for screenshots of the NOO result, i'm not doing other peoples searching for them again, quoted that post enough).
