Let the refunds flow hard & fast...I need new tyres for my car!?!

How much did you guys get back last year?!? Seems to become less & less each year

Oh & what do you plan on spending your cha-ching on?!?

I don't pay Tax, My friend Jimmy showed me a way.

Got about R300 back last year. I was so excited that I didn't know what to spend it on. Thought about buying a car but decided to invest it instead.

SARS still ows me approximately R2 from last year's tax season

@ least it is better than owing them R300

I guess one could buy 30 Steers' Rib Burgers, if they had stock available or some uncapped ADSL for a month & a bit

Did you know that if you don't claim correctly, you still have a chance to amend your claim. A guy at work normally does my husband's and he was lucky to get back about R400 a year. He was actually fine with that, even though the other guys at work used to get back a whole lot more. So a friend decides to have a look at it, told him the claim was done wrong and resubmitted for the previous 3 years. Yes !!! And with efiling got the money in 2 weeks.

I forgot my efiling username and password... I have to go to the actual SARS office...

The thought makes me vommit a little in my mouth. But I got about R1500 back last year and as said above; I also need new tyres. I turned one of the back tyres into swiss cheese somehow.

No need to go into a SARS office:

I logged in at 06:00 this morning. Did mine and just saved it in order to do the calculation. I almost had a heart attack! According to this calculation, I OWE R165057.18! When I went through all the values I saw that someone made a decimal point boo-boo somewhere. I do not know whether it is my company when they submited it, or whether the error creeped in at SARS. According to the ITR12 document I paid R18384.2 tax, instead of the R183842.0 as it should be. I will have to wait untill tomorrow to call our pay dept. and SARS to find out what needs to be done.

Updated IRP5 info and my current company data is still not there. Oh well, gonna have to check with them tomorrow...

[ghoti]

I submitted a little early and got audited. Still got a handsome payout in the end

[srothman]

I actually did mine last night already, around 10h00-ish... getting a couple of grand back. Not millions, but not too shabby either. At least I am not owing, so life is good ;-)

[HavocXphere]

Gonna get a couple of grand back...nothing spectacular.

Still need to add some info though...the IRP5 only includes CTC, not sundry extra stuff.
