I am a day before you and it is still busy with the official. I am not sure if they going to do the full 21 working days.

Good day

And like last year... on day 21 will suddenly awaken and then send you a letter "FINALISED WITH CHANGES" and then you owe them a crapload of money

Anything to get out of paying

Anything to get out of paying

Yes, the uniquely South African way of the South African State

Trying to get answers out of Liberty as to why they think SARS isn't happy with the tax documents they sent is like pulling teeth I still can't calculate my tax return, never mind submit it.

I'm in the same boat. Liberty comes to mind.

Under the Form Wizard on eFiling, I only have the Standard questions. How do I get access the Comprehensive questions. Comprehensive questions were available during last years returns.

It depends on what you answer. Some options are available only if you select Y to questions in standard questions screen.

Thanks SR. I did not select the last question. Can now access Comprehensive questions

Aah. Case assigned. And verification finalised with no changes.
Significant, as I had to repay a previous employer a retention bonus (tax included), and claimed the tax portion back.
But, with all suppoting docs, no issues.
Happy days.

A retention bonus. Wow, you're a CEO or high-flyer?

Nope, employer was desperate to keep employees (high turnover). Me and many others decided F this, the bonis was not worth the toxic culture. And I am very happy about the move. Will never accept a retention bonis again though, lesson learnt.

Ah okay... I would never stay for any kind of money in a toxic culture.
