    With affidavits and a guy came to my house to assess the increase in my assets over the last 10 years. I am still waiting for feedback on that.

    I currently sit in a similar situation and would like to know what the outcome was of your visit to SARS.

    Can you please give me some feedback?

    Hi, I'm in exactly the same position as apprepcen. Will there ever be another small business amnesty? I didn't even know about it "a few years back" and I am also in the position that I can barely make ends meet with providing a roof over my kids' heads and food in their bellies and working 16 hour days, 7 days a week.

    I battled for years to get a tax clearance certificate... used the same accountant for many years ...he retired closed his office and disappeared with R10 000 i paid him to make sure all the books were sorted out before he left ...i was told all my paperwork was sent to a company in Durban North...they couldnt find my paperwork... eventually i managed to find a very efficient accountant out on the Bluff...had to scratch for weeks trying to source bank statement etc.

    Cut a long story short...within 2 weeks all my returns where submitted and up to date ... i had a figue of outstanding amounts ...interest and penalties (R79 000) i had to pay SARS ...sold a vehicle and paid them... He sorted out everything ...i now have a tax clearance certificate... i can now sleep at night... My returns are always sent in on time... i dont worry about all that crap anymore... I get messages on my phone to say SARS has received the returns...i log on to the bank ...my bills... pay whatever the accountant has loaded on my bills... what a pleasure... i wish i had found this account 28 years ago when i started my business.

    The only "amnesty" available at the moment, is the Voluntary disclosure programme (VDP), but as far as I know, it only covers imprisonment and penalties...
