I got a big skrik. On my prepopulated form it had me marked as married !! I was like WHAT? My prince have not shown up yet...WTF are these guys on about?

I changed it back to single ... checked now quickly on the Home Affairs site.....yip...still legaly single . Not sure if I should be happy or sad hahahaha. Guess its better to be single than be married to a Nigerian that wants to take my SARS refund lolz

Oh well, check my prepopulated form yesterday and everything was correct as per the docs I have.

R15k due back to me, been assessed now just waiting for the audit or refund.

Same here. Outside community of goods. I marked single again.

I noticed the change log is as follows though: "Married outside community of goods: N". So they might change it to "within community of goods" now.

Because, it is. If someone gets caught in the s(p)cam, it will be Christmas in July for the criminals

Still experiencing problems today.

Up to now, in my experience, their website was functioning very well.

I am surprised. Gotta keep those coffers filled!!

How the heck are we supposed to pay our taxes online if it keeps giving problems???

I dont understand why their IT department are not correctly prepared for these traffic spikes.

Been trying to log in as well, it keeps telling me that my session has expired.

When I tried to log in just now, I am getting a error message "Your session has expired due to inactivity on the site. Please login again". I get this message immediately after logging in. Anyone else with simmilar problems?

Edit: OK, I see I am not the only one.

Will try at night.

I called the SARS call centre: the usual message, i.e. "our technicians are working on it".
