Hi all,

I need to submit a tax return for teh year ending 28 feb 2007. Is there anywhere in Oz, or even better WA, where I can get the forms?

Thanks

Hi Rich

If I were you I'd register for SARS efiling . I've used it for the past two years (while in SA) and am chuffed with it. If SARS owes you a refund then I strongly suggest using it as one's assessment and therefore refund is done much faster than when submitting a hard copy.

(last year my refund was paid out within two weeks ;) )

easy, it's all available online, no need for paper forms - just go to www.sarsefiling.co.za - you have to register first though. And you have to have a South African bank account, into which your refund (if any) will be paid.

I completed my tax return online and submitted it on 18 August, SARS made a refund deposit into my bank account on 25 Sept., a mere 25 working days later! Now THAT'S efficiency!

Sorry to hijack this topic.....

Do you advise SARS on the "form" that your physical / postal address is now in Oz, or do you leave the old SA address in? ;)

If you want more advice or someone in South Africa that can help sort out tax issues, I highly recommend my brother in law, and not just because he is my brother in law. He has been the chairperson of the Gauteng financial accountants board for a number of years, and he is very honest about tax - he wont cheat, as he says there are lots of legal ways to avoid paying tax - you just have to know how they work - and he does! His details are as follows:

I've put all my Aussie contact details on the SARS e-filing site. No worries.
