BUSINESS NEWS - The Tax Ombud is slowly gaining ground in assisting taxpayers in resolving their tax differences with Sars.
Unfortunately, these “tax differences” are frequently of Sars’ making, and as Sars slips further behind in the revenue target, so can we expect an exponential increase in these “tax differences”.
eFiling has also started to show its cracks, and it does not support Google Chrome.
Annoyingly, if you are unaware of this and try to open a document on eFiling, you will receive a misleading instruction to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader.
Thankfully, mybroadband.co.za, being a couple of steps ahead of Sars, has addressed this issue in their web document “What to do when Sars eFiling will not work with Chrome”, explaining how to make the necessary system changes to Google Chrome.
Be prepared, any taxpayer due for a refund will be selected for “verification”. Unable to design an intelligent risk system that can detect valid areas of risk, tax refunds land in the cross hairs. The real tax dodgers are safe.
According to the Tax Ombud, one of the more serious taxpayer complaints is that of delayed refunds.
