Outstanding tax returns - will I be penalised?

By Marc Sevitz · Updated

I submitted my 2013 tax return and have a penalty of R500 for the 2007 and 2009 tax returns outstanding. How do I go about submitting these as I cannot find these loaded on my eFiling profile? And should I be paying tax if at that time I earned below the taxable threshold?

You would not have to pay tax, but according to SARS you would need to file a return. If you click, on your eFiling page, the "request tax return" button under the "returns issued" tab then you can select the years you wish to file for.
