bertusras Posted July 31, 2020 Share I am in the same boat, so auto assessment will not work for me.Pay medical and RA with taxed income, then still car allowance so also submit a logbook.I do this every year, and every year I get audited even though they pay me back pretty much the same amount, every year...... Now that I've finalised my logbook and collected all my other tax docs, the E-Filing site is just non-responsive. Faaaantastic!

Frosty Posted July 31, 2020 Share This is my concern with the new auto assessment introduced. Most seem happy to accept.Just doesn't sit right with me though......I get the feeling they are offering a lower amount in the hope that someone feels that it’s better than having to go through the schlep of filing. In reality, some documents aren’t there, so the calculation is wrong. Steven Knoetze (sk27), Long Wheel Base and Wayne pudding Mol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I FLY Posted July 31, 2020 Share Also got the sms yesterday. The auto assessment is substantially less than what I normally get back. I will look into it this weekend and see why. Definitely not happy with mine.I had a unpleasant surprise when my auto generated assessment arrived via sms yesterday. SARS said I owe them just under R1m. When I called my payroll department they said the original IRP5 upload was corrupted and that a new upload was done on wednesday. Still a little stomach turning moment . mazambaan, Steven Knoetze (sk27), Long Wheel Base and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uni Posted July 31, 2020 Share i've been stressing about how i must submit my returns for last year as i was unemployed for about all of it, i had a retrenchment package and was on UIF. the auto assessment is 3x my usual return so i'm happy to hit the cool, thanks button Wannabe and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev null Posted July 31, 2020 Share My auto assesment came to about 3K more than last year. Seems to be in order. I don't have travel allowance anymore which makes things so much easier. Could not handle that logbook admin anymore, and these days I work so much more from home anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 31, 2020 Share I see they left my car allowance off, so once done with that I should be able to file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted August 1, 2020 Share The SMS I received RE my tax return is wwwaaayyy off what they owe me .... going to have to sort this out.Seems the SMS was wrong. Went onto the SARS site now to check out their calcs, and there the figures are correct. Did the accept thing and now we wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabe Posted August 1, 2020 Share Pressed "ACCEPT" with great urgency, also substantially more than I normally get. Now I wait for the funds to show, so I can send my .308 in to have the long desired silencer/suppressor fitted.

bertusras Posted August 1, 2020 Share Did my return this afternoon, 4x more back in pocket than what the auto-assessment spat out. Steven Knoetze (sk27), Long Wheel Base and Hairy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 1, 2020 Share Filing done - was really no extra effort, other than making sure my logbook was/is kept up to date and then checking all the figures. Once saved, I downloaded the calculated sheet - always keep hard copies of my workings.Similar to last year, so hoping to see the moola in my account shortly.Certainly better than the SMS (pay in) vs the first look online (about 40% of my submission.

RudoJ Posted August 3, 2020 Share Got sms on Friday, saying that I owe SARS money, was like WTF?So checked, clicked edit after struggling to get onto e-fling website, added my logsheet details for business km's and now they owe me some lekka moola. Can repaint my house and install new gutters. Long Wheel Base, Rudi Pollard, Wannabe and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
