Did you earn no income from your directorship ?

EDIT: Also, you should likely have registered for provisional tax as well

Ok maybe you give some pointers here ...

I registered the company Sept 2020
Company has it own Tax Ref

I started billing or invoicing end Feb 2021 -- of which Payment came in 1 March 2021, I have been billing clients since then... this is side hustle ---- I am employed permanent somewhere

My thinking is/was I will file Company Tax Return 2022 --- as my company Financial Year end is February each year of coz

What is provisional tax ? --ok will google this , never thought it has something to do with Company or Individual Tax

Submitted today. Including home office expenses and rental income. Documents required for verification as always.

Thanks for the response. Do they specify what supporting docs they require? If all else fails, I'll just drown them in supporting documents

This is the wrong approach and will only act to slow down the review. Send them what's relevant and no more.
 
Signed into the eFiling website and no return available. I then signed into the eFiling app and there it issues me a return. Sign back into the eFiling website and there the return is.

I got this sms almost an hour ago. Has any of you received it as well and has it affected your assessment?

I received this same sms this afternoon.

On Saturday midday I received an email with my auto assessment document attached (first red flag as SARS never just send out documents like that without you actually requesting it to be sent). I also received an sms telling me I had been auto assessed.

I logged into efiling and saw the green VIEW ASSESSMENT button which should have taken me to view the assessment. Except, when I clicked that green button, it took me to the Tax return creation questionnaire. No matter what I did, I could not find where to approve my assessment (it was/is correct but I just wanted to approve the damn thing and be done)

I called SARS yesterday but was told I was not supposed to view it until the 1st and I can only get help from 1 July. Yesterday I also noticed that this year's return had a status of "assessment submitted by SARS".

So, what do I think today's sms is referring to? Well, if you were like me and logged in to view and approve the assessment on the weekend, the efiling site messed up and auto submitted / auto accepted the assessment on my behalf without me getting a chance to manually do it.

Today's sms basically says this was an error on their part and that if I am happy with the assessment result then all is good and the refund should technically be next.

It has been quite annoying not knowing why this process has been broken for me without any way of finding out who, what and how, until today's sms.

I got the sars email with the assessment and then I edited without knowing what to do.. should have left it I suppose but maube after editing they want to check that I haven't added any other amounts etc. Not sure

You were in the same boat as me, but I did not edit anything as I did not want to trigger the whole return + supporting docs + wait.
 
If you rent claim WFH. But if you bought, they will deduct 25% of your sale when you sell one day. Not worth it.

SARS should have deactivated the "VIEW ASSESSMENT" tab, it is natural to do what you did. I heard that they have invested a lot of money into their system, we need to see this investment bear fruit by making our lives easier instead of frustrating us. I guess we will see what happens on 1 July 2021.

I had all intentions of waiting until 1 July. But when I received their communications on Saturday, curiosity got the better of me I suppose...
