SARS E-Filing 2016

So you've called them already? What did they say if I may ask?

Just said the auditors received my documents and will inform me if they need anything else

OK thanks, will also give them a call Tom

Theres probably a pretty hectic backlog, all the verification docs have to be looked at by a human being for the finalisation to be done.

When did you submit?
I submitted docs 1 August and no request for anymore but also no completion letter.
Looks like I'll have to wait until September
Wish they had a status feature or countdown .
Usually I get a response within 2 weeks.

My first upload of supporting docs was on 15 July, and the second bunch just before month end.

Just wait 21 working days (They will come back)

Going by this thread activity one can see that the early birds have complated their tax returns and the late folks who probably have not even thought about it yet.

Im still waiting. Almost 2 months since I filed and uploaded supporting documents.

I just don't feel the urge to complete mine.

Told myself last year I'll complete it as soon as I have all my documents....

I uploaded supporting docs on 20 August, got the finalization SMS today.

 

[PhireSide]

You guys were lucky. I submitted mine 20 July and got my SMS yesterday

BUUUUUUUUUUT

They deducted tax twice from me for last year, so I end up owing them instead of them owing me. Time to log my 5th dispute...so tired of this already

I'm confused.

After getting the finalization SMS and e-mail, I just received the following SMS.
'Dear Taxpayer a review of your tax return requires you to visit a SARS branch.'

What could have changed in 2 days?

May be issues with your bank details, which they realized when trying to pay you. Did you happen to change bank accounts since completing your previous tax return?

No. I have had the same account for 20 odd years.

Did you move?

 

[Akirky]

Did you move?

No. Everything is the same for the past 10 years at least.

I will phone them tomorrow. I just can't think of anything.

Was there for the 3rd time in two weeks, 9 hours total waiting time. This morning after 3 hours they told me that I had already done the verification 3 days earlier on the 6th and I also got that SMS on Friday. The consultant told me that it was sent by mistake.

However, it might be that they really do require of you to verify again.

It seems that there is a small typo somewhere that has caused this.

I'm in the UK this week, so I'll have to try get it sorted when I'm back. Very annoying.
