2018 return... all of it handled by a tax practitioner. Supporting documents submitted and acknowledged 03 August...
Tax practitioner is getting irritated because nothing is happening.. so we're going to do the escalation route, if that fails then to the tax ombud

Submitted mine this morning, initial assessment was massively more than I expected. Over 3 times last year's amount. It equals about 4 months worth of tax. Anyways, they audited me and requested docs which I have just sent in. Now for the wait. Just hoping the amount is not adjusted downwards.

So I just got notice that there was a new communication for me to check. Got all excited thinking my audit was somehow done only to see it was just them acknowledging my uploaded docs. Tic Toc.

Update:
Now that they've been pushed... they decided to reduce my refund by 67%.
And that's now how it is... now waiting for the pithy little refund I get, despite all the medical expenses and caring for a child with a disability.
The Guptas... sure know how to ruin everything.

Hi
I filed my return last week and received my assessment immediately with a refund due to me. Not selected for audit or verification. I have changed my bank account details this year and a note on the IT34 simply states: Please note: Your banking details verification process is still in progress. It may be necessary for you to come into a SARS branch to present supporting documentation however you will be notified if this is required.
I have not received any communication if I need to go into a SARS branch so not sure what the delay is in processing my refund as this is day 4 after filing my return
Did anyone on this forum have a similar issue and how long did it take for payout? I called the SARS call centre and all they did was confirm that my banking details have changed via efiling.
Pleeeeeeeeezzzze help ??

Filed 9 August selected for audit once again (3rd year in a row)
Supporting document filed same day
Acknowledgment of supporting documents same day (20minutes after submitting it)
21 September notification from SARS that return is accepted / no adjustments (at 7pm on a friday)
Update: Received refund 27 September
Waiting for refund to show up in bank account.
What I found a bit weird is the documents description is "AutoComplete Letter", almost as if there was no real audit and it was just a delaying tactic, no refund date in the letter either.

Have you checked your Statement of Account for an Electronic Refund date?
try it from a different browser, or try saving it to your computer and then opening it in Adobe PDF Reader
Maybe check again after 7 working days. If you are not being audited or verified, it should reflect then.

I received the same " Autocomplete letter" and I was thinking the same. I called to confirm because I had received an email requesting I more documents earlier on Friday, call centre said I don't need to submit anything further. Not entirely convinced but will wait for the refund as advised.
Should be 7 working days from completion letter. Maybe check if bank detail verification is outstanding.
Is this for a 2018 return?
