I did. It was promptly deleted
Submitted my tax return almost a month ago for 2017, verification? Off course yes! Does anyone know if there is loan sharks out there that will loan me money against my tax refund or provide me with something, anything, to make an end to my missery? I have been without a job for more than a year and this refund delay is bringing me to my knees!

I recently purchased a very smart locally developed solution for tax and travel claims from Tiger Wheel & Tyre. Its fully mobile so no need to use a pc and its real easy to use. Check it out http://www.journeyorganizer.co.za/
I find that wheneva I scratch around in my efiling account I suddenly receive a message notifying me of whateva.
So for 2016 I received no notices at all untill I did this. Then suddenly I was threatened for not complying with their requests for documentation.
When I filed a NOO for a second R65k assessment I was hit with, my explanation of their lack of notifications was accepted. Real funny hey. Imstill had to pay the money.
I was audited for 2017 and lots of hassles later received a Statement of Completion to tell me they owe me a lot of money. But don’t forget, we reserve the right to reaudit you at any time. What a joke.
I appointed a tax practitioner for 2017 as I was gatvol of dealing with their **** (two of my kids are ca’s -lol)
That was a clever move as I qualified for a pensioner discount and I don’t worry no more.
Now I must just figure out how to get my money from them.

Go and see them.
Plenty reasons on their side why they are not in contact.
No other option.

Did you submit the supporting documents as per the verification notice? If you have, they will send another notice indicating if the verification is complete or that you need to submit additional documentation.
A very interesting fact about my efiling experience.
Every time I go into my account viewing documents I would receive a sms to notify me that Sars notice must be looked at.
Even after receiving a letter of completion which I had alook at several times it still happens.
Last year they accepted a NOO when I told them this is happening and thats the reason why I did not send documents in time.
I am still waiting though as I lodged a complaint against their IT system.
I intend to go back to normal filing in a year.
Its really going to make no difference to me personally as I am now retired.
But they have turned their IT system into a tool to screw us personal taxpayers with.

I read up to page 46 and then decided to ask the question...
I have a car that is now 7 years old and I cancelled my travel allowance on it some time ago. I use it for work and business related travel. Can I claim any expenses on it like repairs, services, etc without the travel allowance?

When paying SARS via EFT, how do you know what public recipient to choose? My ITA34 says I owe them X amount, so do I select Sars-ita from the list below?
edit: Sars-ita was the way to go in my case. Paid them on 30 Jan and a few days after that pulled a Statement of Account to be sure that it was reflecting.
This list is from FNB Online Banking.

SARS asked for extension to resolve my ADR appeal. My dispute is so simple and uncomplicated and I do not understand what it took them so long to finalize it.
My question is does anybody know if the ADR can be completed without meeting? I just want my money and get done with this. The dispute is about the shipping cost of office furniture that i imported from USA. And since the store in the USA did not deliver to our country SA I had to arrange shipping. SARS kept disallowing this expense until I asked for a reason which they finally gave this year saying that the shipping date and transaction date is different so i must send proof. I hope they do not call me for a meeting because this matter is very straight forward. How tiring can SARS be!

Ultra noob question...
I started working in Jan 2017. I know that I am eligible for some money back as I only worked for two months in the 2016/2017 tax year.
However, I did not file my return in 2017 (I was unable to do so via efiling due to having changed my bank account. They requested that I come in with proof of banking details, but I was lazy
).
Is it possible for me to file it now? Is it even a good idea? I've heard that I will pay penalties...
Thank you.
