UQ
FONT< This does not seem to make much sense; for, taxpayer will then be obliged to compile, after procuring all the requisite data FROM EVERY SOURCE, AND MAKE A COMPUTATION OF total income, for determining the amount of SA TAX to be paid . Consequently, simply extending the due date for a formal filing the tax return might not really provide, as intended/ professed, any 'further relief '.
And, there are, as readily visualized, more angles creating problem in so paying SA Tax on or before July 31. These , though of relevance, do not seem to have been kept in view by the Revenue.
