What does the first request mean? I know the 2nd one is the letter from my employer

You must provide evidence that you mainly performed your work from home, if you read all the posts in this thread you will find the answer. Basically SARS interprets "mainly" as more than 50%. So something similar to a logbook for travel, but in this case showing what days and hours you worked from home during the year. If you spent less than 50% of your time working from home you should not have claimed WFH expenses.

The first requirement is easy, you will need to send in pictures showing that the office is equipt for trade/ business purposes only. If the space is used for any other purposes you should not have claimed for WFH expenses

Nope, didn't answer 'yes'

I agree with you that we will likely have to send bank statements in....

For the expenses that you deducted you will need to submit the invoices along with copies of your bank statement showing that you actually paid the expenses.

Seeing that you did not receive any rental income, SARS would want to know/see that you are indeed carrying on a bona fide trade (you had the intention to make a profit, there is a business plan by example). So provide evidence that you attempted to find new tenants / proof of advertising the unit etc.

If you did not carry on a bona fide trade then no expenses can be deducted.
 
Filed last Friday, money in the bank this morning. WITHOUT being audited. (Been on their hitlist for over 10 years)

MFcker.... can't believe it.
 
Oh joy... Just as my statement of account shows an electronic refund it gets reversed. Now they want to audit my 2020 return first. Cry me a river. Upload them docs I shall.
 
Filed Thursday the 8th. Saturday the 10th the money was in my account.
My wife is not so lucky. Apparently her 2016 return is outstanding (it's not) so no payment yet.
 
Just received a completion of verification letter stating that no adjustments have been made to my assessment. I assume this means that if my return indicated a payment to me, then this remains.

You can request a new SOA and the payment date should update.
 
Dear Diary,

It's day 12 now since submitting the documentation. Or is it 8? I don't know. Depends on whether SARS means 21 business days with their audit time or regular days including weekends. Nonetheless, the excitement has worn off. I know no longer refresh the Statement or Login infrequently just to check. The posts on MyBB have dried up. A win here and there; someone got their payout. Some sad stories too of the taxman doing in the vulnerable.

We wait in hope. The country my taxes go to build burns but, that's a story for another day. Today I just want my cut. I need my cut.

Anyone having an error when trying to view statement of account? In Red, and it says something like Cannot view, try again later.

I can't edit RA amount. Tried Chrome as well as SARS browser. Is it normal ? I never had RA before hence the question.

Sho. Sygnia still trying to sort this mess (of incorrect RA amount) with SARS. SARS seem to keep on forwarding the mail from one department to other. Their validation department confirmed all ok in beginning but after further query now they say some pre-population department needs to look at it.

Mess.
