Hi.

I have recently submitted my 2009/2010 tax return and was rewarded with substantial refund. The problem however lies in that SARS won't release my refund because I have an outstanding tax returrn from 2005/2006.

My problem here lies in that I am unable to obtain my IRP5 from that far back, so I am unable to complete this return from 2006. Needless to say, until completed, SARS won't issue my refund.

I therefore have 2 questions:

1. Without an IRP5, how can I obtain the information necessary to complete the return?
2. Will I be liable for some serious penalties?

Any assistance or advice will be greatly appreciated.
