I recently filed my return and received an original assessment that I believe was correct. I then submitted a change because I thought my medical aid amount was incorrect. SARS requested supporting certificates, which I supplied, and the verification was finalised without changes. Afterwards, an additional assessment was issued that now reflects an amount payable. As the underlying information and documents have not changed, I request that SARS reinstate the original assessment outcome (the refund) or provide the specific basis for the additional assessment.
I require assistance with responding to the attached letter from SARS regarding my tax residency status. I emigrated from South Africa in , and gave up my tax residency then, however all of this was handled by tax consultants at the time. I’ve received this letter would like advice and assistance in providing a response, please.
