SARS simplified the process to correct errors made on tax returns
SARS introduced a new Request for Correction form (RFC). This form can be used if you made an error or omission on your return or if you believe SARS has captured your information incorrectly. No supporting documentation needs to be submitted to SARS. Only a detail explanation of what should have been captured on the return will suffice. SARS will then make the adjustment on your behalf.
This is not replacing a Notice of Objection (NOO) though. A NOO is done in circumstances where your information was captured correctly, but you disagree with the assessment issued by SARS. This process involves a bit more work and Gazetted ‘rules’ dictates the steps that needs to be followed.
