1. What options does 1 have when SARS abuses taxpayers knowing that average taxpayer does not have financial muscles to litigate, to the extent that SARS no longer responds to taxpayer queries? 2. Is it true that a taxpayer may not legally sue SARS for such abuse? 3. Is point 2 constitutional?

SARS reversed previously allowed expenses expenses in November 2015 for a return that was audited, assessed in August 2009. This is more than 5 years from date of original assessment. No communication was sent to me regarding this assessment which resulted in a refund to me. When I objected the SARS input document was programmed to EXCLUDE the reversed expenses. I objected, complained and approached Office of Tax Ombudsman to no avail. I am threatened with legal action and am forced to pay 42% of my monthly income to SARS as the REVERSAL created a debt of R 130 000 for me. I am financially crippled by this SARS action and cannot buy basics but depend on support from relatives. I have approached a local University Law clinic who have decided to intervene / negotiate with SARS. What options will I have if SARS ignores them the same way that I have been ignored? If I end up somehow getting funding for litigation against SARS, can I sue them as a civilian for BREAKING the Tax Administration Act?

I would ask your local University Law clinic about what options you have.
