Thanks

Will give them a call

so apparently, even after i updated my dads bank details on the system they paid it into the wrong account. That account is closed. They said i should call the bank and ask them to return the money back to them , well according to the bank it normally takes 48 hours for the money to Bounce back. Once the money is back at sars , i need to call them and ask them to pay into the correct account.

They basically didnt allocate the correct bank details when processing the refund.

So they say the objection is invalid but they have corrected it?:erm: :wtf:

Not that I have an idea on what to do next... redo the ITR12 maybe?

If the objection is really allowed, there should be a new assessment issued by SARS.

I had a case one year where the Objection was disallowed and inside the letter SARS gave the reason "Deduction is allowed..."
I then submitted a Notice of Appeal indicating that their letter did not make any sense. I eventually got my refund... in Feb the following year.

Obviously it was not allowed as per screenshot but they corrected it anyway.

Now I requested a correction, and the calculator now shows the correct amount but I cannot file the new correct ITR12 because:


No new assessment after correction:

My colleague says he hasn't had a tax return paid out to him for years now, although he does submit it yearly.

He's been to SARS every year, and they tell him that it has been sorted, and each time they give him a timeframe of 7 to 21 working days before it will be fully sorted, yet it just never happens.

Understandably he's fed up now with taking a day off work every time to wait in SARS' queues with no results despite their promises. They just say "it's a glitch on your account". Surely this isn't fair on him.

What steps are there to escalate something like this? They probably owe him over 50k now in total.

This is the only error he gets, nothing more descriptive unfortunately:

Call the Tax omdub, they are really good and will sort this is no time.

Koosvanwyk, what can I do to my ITR12 that I want to resubmit but it can't since all the number are still the same? The calculator on the new ITR12 shows the correct account for refund now. They already paid out the incorrect amount (less than half of what was due if they had done their job).

Must I lie and lower the RA contribution with R1 and then submit?

Hopefully they will then pay out only the difference?

Best would be to call them and ask.

or maybe change your 2017 RA contributions with R 1 (reduce it) to force the new return to be different to the previous (but call them first)

Finally - refund date on Statement of Account showing as 11 July. About time.

and.... have you been refunded on the 11th?

 

[Friedpet]

I'm still waiting for last year's payout . So no motivation to do this year's return.

 

[AndyT1]

Yay !!!! SARS just issued my completion letter, no change !

Presume all this happiness is because you guys got money and not because you got your own money back ?

 

[AndyT1]

Yes, new camera money !!!

Well, in a few years we won't even be getting these medical rebates any more, so yes, I'd say enjoy it while it lasts.

Nice one dude. Which camera are you getting?

Impressive, there are very few Olympus aficionados around these days, but by all accounts their cameras are amazing. Maybe come share a user review in the photography sub-forum here, I'm sure a lot of the photo enthusiasts would be keen to read it!
