tax return 2011

Aaarg! Sars want me to confirm my banking details. Flip, I did this in January, and they clearly failed to capture it properly on their system.

Oh well, small price to pay, I guess...

i just submitted everything i had, the medical aid stuff, Retirement annuity forms and that.

I submitted them yesterday, and today it changed to documents being reviewed. You sure after you uploaded yours you clicked submit to sars ?

Yeah, I submitted the same... mine says "Documents have been sent to SARS", maybe I'm just being a bit impatient.

you have to go into SARS to do this. take a certified copy of your ID document. a certified print out of your bank statement. do not go there without these things as you will only be told to get these things. and only you can do this. as from this year no tax consultant or representative may do this on behalf of anyone.

Yip... its happened to me every year for the last five years ... you'd think they'd learn considering the amounts are only slightly higher that I'm not cheating them.

I submitted all my certificates.

Then a spreadsheet for each code I claimed, e.g. 4020, etc. detailing the list of expenses and the calculation in deriving the claims.
 
I filed last night, got my assessment back today. They claim to owe me R17.5k and I was selected for an audit. I uploaded my backing docs now.

How long does this audit last?
 
Is it possible that it could take this long? It says the assessment was received but not processed. I did this on Monday already. However, there is a Rand total on the top right. What does this mean?

eFiling Status: Assessment received
SARS Status: Your Tax Return has been received but has not yet been assessed.

That means it still needs to be processed by SARS? Why is there then a Rand total below that if it still needs to be assessed?

-negative means they owe you +postive means you owe them...

They probably have assessed it, the status thingy always says two weeks (for me).

Check if there is a statement of account?

I know, but I meant there are conflicting messages. One says it still needs to be assessed yet it seems they have already put a figure there. There is a statement of account. It's BS though. I had to pay R3500 out of my pocket for medical expenses and they're not gonna compensate me? According to them, I owe R880. No f*****g way I am paying that.
 
Hopefully somebody will be able to help,

are my car payments the lease payments for the car allowance section on the tax return and how do i calculate the wear and tear on my car?
I did 70000 km for the tax year. surely i should get something back????

please note that SARS still has the right to take up to 90 days to finalise your assessment. just because you submit on e-filing means nothing.
i'm not sure where you are seeing a rand total on your return?

then you don't claim the lease payments or wear and tear on the vehicle, you must do a logbook showing business and private mileage.

If he did business travel he can claim maintenance and interest on the lease, why do you say he can't? That's what the log book is there for.

don't butt in this conversation. he gets a travel allowance he must put together a logbook detailing business and private mileage only.
the only time expenses such as wear and tear, lease, fuel, maintenance etc is claimed is when he is claiming "actual expenditure" this will not be to his benefit and will give him a smaller deduction.
 
Now I'm confused - just got notification of 'additional assesment' complete - and when I look on my statement it s
2011-08-01 Additional assessment - xx,xxx.00
Closing Balance xx,xxx.00

Select for Audit - No
Unprocessed Payments 0.00

Except no electronic refund... :(

have a look for a letter on the system. SARS will usually send a letter why they revised it and it will be on your profile.
 
No letter unfortunatey... just the revised IT34 which is exactly the same
