SARS ****med me R15000.00 for Solar installation.

Good morning. Hope you are well and good this morning. My name is Mosa and I have a problem with SARS . I installed a Solar system at my house and the people who installed the system confirmed to me that they are registered for Vat or Tax. They also gave me COC for their instruction. When I was completing my tax return for 2023 I mentioned that and I was hoping that SARS or government will reimburse R15000 as they mentioned in news for those who will ease Eskom grid by installing Solar system. Then SARS did first assessment and they owed me R2400. A month later the money was not paid and they said they need my municipal bill. I send the bill and another assessment came and I owed them R15000. 00 I have been battling to understand how do they charge me because I did not get the R15000 from them. This is day light *******. Now they threatened me that if I don't pay they will hand me over to lawyers. Please assist me to understand why did they charge me R15000k. If I didn't qualify for the rebate they should have rejected my request and not punish me for R15000.

Pearl Wilson, Expert's Assistant I'm sorry to hear about the issues you're experiencing with your tax assessment related to the solar system installation. Did you receive any specific feedback from SARS explaining why the assessment changed from you receiving a refund to owing R15000? You They only send me letters to remind me about the amount that I owe. I also went to office in Standerton branch and the lady who was assisting did not understand the penalty. We wrote a letter to SARS for reducing the amount but no response from them. The only thing is to send me the Final demand letter for that R15000

Pearl Wilson, Expert's Assistant That sounds quite frustrating. Have you been able to provide all the necessary documentation regarding the solar system installation and its VAT registration to SARS? You Yes I did. But the invoice was rejected not sure why. That is the invoice I got from the people who installed the system. But if there were issues, they could have rejected my application and not punish me with R15k. It's really frustrating and I need help please

Pearl Wilson, Expert's Assistant Thank you for providing that information. Did SARS provide any specific reasons why the invoice was rejected? You No. They only said the prove is not enough. I send municipal bill as well.

Pearl Wilson, Expert's Assistant Thank you for clarifying that. Have you been able to contact the installation company to discuss the issue with the invoice and possibly get a revised or more detailed version? You The guys are no where to be found. It was guys who work for themselves but are qualified electrician and are registered. I opted to work with them because they were reasonable with their prices for installing the solar.

Pearl Wilson, Expert's Assistant I see, that complicates things further. Have you kept any other form of communication or contracts from them that might help your case with SARS? You Is the invoice that they gave me. That's the only document I have from them

Pearl Wilson, Expert's Assistant OK. Thanks for the info. The Computer Technician can help with your computer-related issues. Is there anything else they should know before I connect you? You All I need is to get to the truth of why did they charge R15k. If I did not submit all the relevant docs then they should have rejected my application. But they decided to charge me R15K for installing Solar.
