Hi

I hope somebody can explain this to me, I am a new (individual) taxpayer and I have used efiling for the first time this year, so I'm still learning how it all works.

I recently submitted my 2015 income tax return where i made a declaration for donations I made to PBO's. I received a notice of assessment, but I was not my paid my tax return. After inquiring as to why I was not paid, I was requested to send through all my supporting documentation. So I sent everything via efiling including the three separate tax certificates I had received for my donations. After this, SARS sent another assessment to me which reduced my tax return. The grounds for assessment was declaration incorrect and the adjustment reason was donations disallowed.

I don't understand why it has been disallowed when the amount I declared is correct, and all my tax certificates are from legitimate organizations.

Does anyone have any idea as to why SARS would have disallowed this? or should I lodge an objection?
