The Scenario
SARS has audited a small business (Pty) Ltd client and disallowed travel expense claims of R150,000, issuing an additional assessment. The audit report states that the logbook was insufficient. The client has a detailed logbook and wishes to object to the assessment.
The Brief
Prepare a comprehensive written representation to support a Notice of Objection (NOO / LXP) to SARS. You must detail the grounds of objection, cite the relevant sections of the Income Tax Act, and organize the corroborating evidence.
Deliverables
- A formal written statement of the grounds of objection, referencing the relevant provisions of the Income Tax Act (e.g., section 8(1)(b) for travel allowance).
- An organized list of supporting evidence, including logbook analysis, employment contracts, and invoices.
- A step-by-step guide explaining how to submit the objection via SARS eFiling and the statutory timelines involved.
