SARS E-Filing 2020/21

TheTraveler said:
I didn't read the letter at first and started uploading all my documentation. Everything. Starting with 12 months of municipal statements, invoices, breakdown of costs, etc. The upload only supported 20 documents so i was waiting for someone to contact me to upload the rest.

Today i see its been finalised. I guess what i sent was sufficient, although not everything

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

When did you submit it and did you also submit the letter that tells you what documents to upload ?
 
I was due for a refund --- now just got an sms/email to submit support documents for verification..
I have 2 IRP5 12 months 1 company and 1 month worked on other company during tax period and Medical and Retirement Annuity ....
Do I only send the copies of the above ?

Likewise. Submitted yesterday. Not selected for audit. New SOA this morning indicating refund date of 30.06.2021. Now a SMS + Email from SARS wanting supporting documents, after all has gone through (no audit and SOA showing recent) without a hitch. Strange, yet frustrating.

So what docs are you gonna submit ?
I have never been asked for verification before -- my returns are just simple ... or maybe its this new auto assessment thing ... I clicked continue and accept yesterday -- that's all

Only new thing I am a Director of a company (side hustle) now --- I see that was ticked NO -- would that be an issue ?
but my Returns are for my work employment --- my company has its own tax reference

If a director before Feb 2021... tick it!

Well, surely you are getting something back!

Put some effort in!

Now this just got weird -- just called SARS

Agent is saying SARS want to Audit me for 2020 and 2021 Returns
But I got Refund last year -- and no audits like any other years prior

Looks like I aint getting my money soon --- aargh!
 
I got this sms almost an hour ago. Has any of you received it as well and has it affected your assessment?

I checked on the SARS website and it seems nothing has changed, I am still getting the same amount (R5000). I hope it stays that way, otherwise I will have to claim for the very little covid-19 donation I made last year.
 
What would happen if I get auto assessed but I don't accept the auto assessment and submit a new one? Cause that would mean they have 2 efiling documents that could conflict one another?

No, I don't believe so. The auto assessment isn't submitted

I got the same sms as this one. It says if you are happy then nothing has to be done further which means it has been filed?
The thing is I got an auto assessment and wasn't sure what to do. I edited it and resubmitted. Now it says manual intervention is needed. I don't own business or rent out property etc. I didn't change anything on the auto assessment. The auto assessment and yhe one I edited and submitted are the same The amount owing is the same on both. Just wondering why there needs to be manual intervention as this couod take 90 days plus..

Also shows me how much is owing etc. But manual intervention..

Maybe things are automated from SARS side. The SARS system perhaps just sends out notifications without human interaction, I honestly don't know.

Did you earn no income from your directorship ?

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