SARS has greatly simplified the tax returns for this year, and it is also no longer necessary to submit documentation. Docs do need to be retained for 5yrs though, so hold onto your log book for now!

Sars has created a simple new return reduced from the previous ten pages to one page with two sides.

During the launch of the new return, Finance Minister Trevor Manuel said that it looked so simple that he might even consider filling it in himself this year. “It could render the person I employ to fill in my returns, unemployed,” he added

Sars also no longer requires supporting documents, such as IRP5s, medical invoices and logbooks etc, to be attached to your return except potentially for high-net worth individuals. However, you’ll need to retain these forms for a period of five years should Sars request them at a later stage in its auditing process.
