SARS E-Filing 2020/21

Correspondence about my case - seems they want photos:

You are kindly requested to submit the information listed below to SARS in order for us to complete your request - A letter from your employer confriming that you were required to acquire the equipment that you claimed for depreciation, to be used for business or work purposes.
- Is the home office exclusively occupied for the purposes of trade or also used for private/recreational purposes?
- Is the home office specifically equipped for purposes of trade?
- List of items and equipment situated within the home office.
- Photographs of the home office.
- A floor plan (sketch) of the residential property, clearly demarcating the area utilized as a home office.
- Is the home office regularly used for the purposes of trade, e.g. how many hours per week/month? NB: Please make sure you attach this letter to the information you provide as it contains a unique barcode and your case number
Really pushing the friendship here. Good luck.
 
So I got the message that SARS'd automatically done my assessment for me. Which is great except they didn't add my Satrix and EE accounts. By some miracle, can I forget about these investment companies or is it absolutely necessary to include them (I know the answer I just don't want to know it)?

How do I add them because I'm scared I'm going to break something?

You know the answer.
 
So I am putting together my WFH documentation and just wanted to confirm one thing before submitting.
Is it necessary to upload all 12 rental statements and payments or can I submit only one statement and one proof of rental payment?
You limited to uploading 20 documents per correspondence though. So yeah good luck.

Select that you dont accept the auto assessment and add it.in through the wizard. Theres a possible criminal offense waiting if you dont declare it.
 
So finally got letter confirming completion of verification (still don't know of what) and confirmation of refund now a few hundred bucks less (SARS you a-holes :mad:)

Took 15 days from submission of documents to completion of verification

Refund date is apparently 1/8/2021
Say it isn't so?:eek:

When did your completion letter come through ?
 
They really aren't kidding about the up to 21 days and for some people it may well be up to 21 working days.

It's still early in the tax season as well
:X3:
I am sitting on day 16, and not even a squeak from our comrades at SARS.
Enjoy your refund, it should be in your account by Saturday.
