A Fin24 user writes:How can they charge penalties on income tax returns when you don't have money in the bank?
A PwC expert responds:Financial penalties are aimed at encouraging compliance and can be avoided if your tax returns are filed on time.
Anyone who is aggrieved by a penalty assessment may request the South African Revenue Service to remit the penalty. However, valid reasons should be provided for late filing in such a case.
