SARS LOOKING FOR REASONS NOT TO PAY MY RETURNS IRRELEVENT REQUESTS - WRONG REQUESTS - CANNOT READ FINCNANCIAL STATEMENTS
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR CASE ESCALATION TO A SENIOR AUDITORSARS Case Number: ***To Whom It May Concern,I am writing to formally request that the audit for the above-referenced case number be escalated to a senior official. The current requests for information are highly contradictory, irrelevant to my tax profile, and suggest a fundamental misunderstanding of the financial documentation already submitted.I operate a sole proprietorship providing tour services for corporate clients. All income and standard operational expenses (such as office rental) are clearly visible and trackable. Despite submitting my IRP5, comprehensive business financial statements, and my bank statements three separate times to clarify income versus non-income streams, I continue to receive generic, irrelevant requests.Please note the following clarifications regarding the latest queries:Vehicle Logbook: I do not use my personal vehicle for business purposes, nor have I claimed any travel or motor vehicle expenses. My travel is strictly limited to commuting between my home and the airport, which I correctly treat as a non-claimable personal expense. As no travel deduction was claimed, a logbook is non-applicable.Telephone and Data Expenses: I utilize pay-as-you-go airtime and data for my communication needs. These expenses are already clearly visible on the bank statements provided. I am unable to itemize logs for individual business versus personal calls.Invoices and "Cost of Sales" Layout: The requests for "other expenses" and a "cost of sales layout" are entirely unspecific. As a single-operator service provider, my business model does not feature a traditional "cost of sales" structure, and all legitimate operational expenses have already been fully detailed in the submitted financial statements.It appears that the auditor assigned to my file is applying a generic checklist without reviewing the actual nature of my business or the documents provided. Each unwarranted request triggers a new turnaround cycle, causing severe and unfair delays.I kindly request that a senior supervisor review the existing file, acknowledge the documents already on record, and finalise this audit as a matter of urgency
