| dc.description.abstract | In each year of assessment, qualifying taxpayers are, by virtue of the relevant provisions of the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 read with the Tax Administration Act 28 of 2011 (‘TAA’), required to submit an income tax return to the South African Revenue Service (‘SARS’). In such return, the taxpayer accounts for income received and accrued in order that the SARS may assess the taxpayer for a potential income tax liability. Upon the issuance of an assessment by the SARS, a taxpayer who is dissatisfied may object to it, in whole or in part. The SARS must consider every objection and decide thereon. A taxpayer who is aggrieved by a decision in relation to an objection may lodge an appeal to a competent Tax Board or Tax Court. Pending the latter adjudicative process, the TAA allows a taxpayer to request that the dispute be referred to ADR facilitated by a person duly appointed in accordance with the law. | en_US |
