I haven't received the receipt of submitted docs yet. I submitted on the 26th.

I'm just going to go into a SARS branch tomorrow. Anyone know what time the Cape Town branch opens up? A few years back they opened from 6am in tax season.

There has been no notifications of extended hours yet (except for the contact Centre).

Am I the only person, who filed by the first, not being audited or verified but still waiting for a payment date? :mad:

I tried a 2nd time and it stated already assessed. I got paid today.

So... crap. Think - assessed ito IT or SoA.

But rude idiots thrive.

Shame you must be in **** with SARS. High debt? Credit card maxed? Trying to con SARS?

Lots of stress in your life.

just an impatient person

Apparently I get a refund, once the review is successful...... so that I can pay the next TAX year.

I bank with Standard, it reflected and cleared. Transferred it all to buy stocks this morning.

I filed on the 1st, not selected for audit and no letters etc. received from SARS. Phoned SARS this morning and was told that my refund is being audited.. Is this what is meant by being verified? Anyone know how long it normally takes?

I cant say that I have heard of a refund being audited. The audit process in itself can be pretty lengthy as in months on end. I would advise that you call them back and hear from a different agent what the status of your refund is, when it is due and if it is indeed under scrutiny, what are the timelines for resolution

Ok, halfway through day 4. Not further information received from SARS on my verification. I know they have 30 working days to complete it but I also know there have been a few people on here who has been selected for verification and had they refunds paid out already. There are still a few days left in this week so no need to panic. I submitted very early on 1 July so right in there with the first batch. Just a word of caution like I have said before, if you're expecting a very decent/high refund, you may have to wait far longer than others. I honestly think that SARS hold onto your money as long as they possibly can, so don't expect super efficiency when waiting for a large payout.

Pretty standard for those people being asked to verify. Have you changed banks?

If you wait about 20 minutes you should get the next letter asking you to submit supporting documents. Then you can upload everything you used to complete your return.

Click the x in the "busy preparing your form..." box and then click in the open space left behind. Look on top of your browser and there will be a box to activate flash. Click it and then refresh the page.

WOW, Brilliant, thanks a stack, works perfectly fine (been battling for a few days now to see my return, so it's a relief) :)
