Do not have to submit my tax return as I thought I was below the bracket for 2010, 2011 and 2012 to

By Marc Sevitz · Updated 7 March 2015

Got a penalty for not submitting for 2010, 2011 and 2012. Taxable pay over threshold and did not submit. Believed it was under the "do not have to submit bracket" but do not know what it were for those year. Will submit now for all years and even my spouse will submit his 0 income. Please can you supply us with the "do not have to submit bracket" of those years. Want to challenge the penalties. Thank You

At the time, in theory, but not really in practice SARS said that if you earned under R120 000 from one single employer with no benefits and just a simple salary income with no other deductions AT ALL then you did not need to submit a return. However they have not always followed through with this theory.
