As the tax section of the Department is usually inundated with requests for the issuing of duplicate IRP 5 certificates, it appears that some employees do not regard the original certificates as important.
|
| 4.1 |
Employees are therefore requested to be more careful and to keep their certificates in a safe place in order to minimise the issuing of duplicate IRP 5 certificates.
|
| 4.2 |
Whereas duplicate IRP 5 certifcates were previously issued manually and the waiting period was relatively short, duplicate certificates are now issued by way of the Persal system and printed once a week.
|
| 4.3 |
In future only a written request for a duplicate IRP 5 will be accepted and such a request must be accompanied by an affadavit attesting to the loss of the original certificate.
|
| 4.4 |
The Department is currently investigating the possibility of imposing a levy on the issuing of duplicate IRP5-certificates.
|
| 5. |
This year’s closing date for the submission of tax returns to the South African Revenue Service is 08 July 2005. In cases where extention is required, it is the tax payer’s responsibility to request the Receiver of Revenue for such an extention.
