As South Africa approaches its winter season, people across the country begin rummaging through their houses, workplaces, and computer files in search of the multitude of tax related documents needed to file each year. Tax season can be a stressful time for many due to the seemingly endless requirements to gather financial documents that cover an entire year.
The Office of the Tax Ombud is a government organization established in 2013 to better the South African tax administration system. They provide a middle man between SARS and taxpayers resolving their complaints speedily and free of charge.
Sakhisizwe talked with Russel Mamabolo, the communication and outreach specialist of the Tax Ombud office. In our conversation we covered everything tax related including the basic steps of the tax filing process, the common mistakes people make when filing, and the way taxes differ for independent contractors.
