SARS E-Filing 2017

[Sayf777]

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.

In my experience you going to have to do it sooner or later.

The people you speak to on the helpline can help answer your questions.

Can someone help me ...I did my tax ...wrong amounts and source codes was used by my company and i owed them 10k.I disputed this and got them to fix the info on my IRP5 and resubmit. My new assesment is that they owe me R20K.My tax was upbto date and i owed them R0 before this.They now deducting the R10k wrong assement and paying me R10k ...Is this correct as they say I am liable for that amount doea not matter.I tried to ask SARS call centre and they insist its correct procedure.Now what if the wrong assement came out to R1.1 mil and proper one now is a refund is R20k i would have owed them a million? Pls help anyone or ambi mad here

it takes 30 days for the audit to be completed.once completed they have another 21 days to pay u.U can call the contact centre and ask them at what stage this is to make sure u dont need to supply anything more

It depends if u owe them maybe they owe u so no penalties unless u owe them then they charge u interest per month so the soonee u so it the better

Nice

Audit

Also submitted my return on the 24th of November 2017. 24th of January 2018 they requested my rental contract and size of my home office in relation to the size of the property, which we uploaded on the 25th of Jan.

Its now the 1st of March 2018 and have still not heard anything back from them.

Is SARS having issues getting the finances together for the refunds or WTF is going on this year?

I submitted a return for a client which included RAs, rental income, home office and some CGT. First assessment came back with the home office rejected. I lodged an objection and the home office was allowed. Refund of over 15k was paid out within a month. Received a further reduced assessment 2 days ago out if the blue with an additional refund of R3.5k that was paid out today.

Sometimes they are very efficient.

Log an escalation with the call centre. I had a similar issue. Went into a limbo state and only after two escalations did it get updated to them needing more docs.

Just waiting for it to be finalised and to be paid out.

I gave them a call this afternoon, the agent said the turn around time is 30 working days. Which is on the 7th of March so will give them until then before I throw my toys I guess

You are lucky... I was told escalations don't have turn around times.

My SOA has a zero balance and a negative refund amount with tomorrows date. Hope I get that SMS in the morning.

Anyone else here with regular Efiling experience to help with a technical RAV01 query? SARS call centre is no help at all.
