SARS focus areas in the ITR12 - Part 2
Presenters : Diane Seccombe
Overview
Taxpayers need to understand the content of their tax returns. What do the questions really mean, and depending on their answers, what are the verification questions they could expect? Once that hurdle is overcome, it is equally important to understand what information and documentation will be required to discharge the burden of proof placed on the taxpayer to satisfy SARS that the information disclosed has been substantiated.
Our presenter, Diane Seccombe, will not deal with the actual operational side of filing the return, but rather with the contents of the return, and how to navigate the questions in order to limit the verification questions.
