Hmm. Either you have done very well or are going through a rough patchOriginally Posted by Veroshka
I'll try not to assume either way.
You're right - that is a problem. If you cannot offer reasonable prospects of paying off the debt out of income, the game becomes an asset hunt

Hi guys, thank you for your input... it just feels like doom and gloom!!! Surely there are recourse, even against SARS??? SARS is not God and I find it extremely difficult to work with this...
I have not done very well and have been unable to obtain permanent employment since April 2004 - 8 months lived on unemployment and then lived on contracts which are are most 3 months income for the year... it has been a very rough patch and am tired now... As for assets - I have very little and have been given "free" accommodation with two pensioners... for this luxury I drive them around and take care of their needs such as shopping, doctors, lunch dates with friends, etc... this I do during the day and at night I then have to try to generate and income!!! This is no life for anyone...
My next step will be to go to the offices to talk to these incompetent people and hope for the best... the one thing that worries me is that my tax consultant seems to be happy to wait until such time SARS comes back to her!!! She has all the information and have asked her to send it to me... the only problem is that I do not know much about this and if left in my hands I probably will only bugger it all up and make it worse...
Thanks again guys, appreciate your comments and input. Veroshka
This is such a tough one, and one of the things that I struggle with. Your tax consultant does not have a problem - if things don't work out, then she doesn't have to pay the bill! Either you need to push her hard to get this resolved, or find out enough (just enough) to explain the situation to SARS yourself.
Thanks Duncan, am trying my best and will keep you guys informed of progress, or non-progress. I think the only thing I can really do is have myself declared insolvent (nearly typed incompetent - ha-ha) but I believe this you can only do if you own assets such as property etc.? Have been on the internet to try and find some info on this law and process, but again a government department - therefore not available!!! How do you win these battles if you cannot find the ammunition, nor the support? thanks again, Veroshka
