SARS E-Filing 2021/22

I got refund within 3-4 days of filing. I think I filed on Saturday so 2 business days, very impressive as usual.
 
Similar timelines for me.
Submitted all, plus supporting docs on 27/06, for both me and the wife. Got a SARS official assigned on 18/07. The wife's assessment was finalized, and she got her refund on 21/07. As for mine, no movement since I got assigned a SARS official on the 18th. So, guess I will have to wait 21 days from the 18th now? Eish...
Hi bud.Did they finally pay or you are still waiting .I got assigned a sars person on 14th Aug.Trying to do the maths .Thanks
 
I finally managed to speak to an agent from SARS this morning. They did a few updates and removed a blocker on my refund payment. All is in order, but no idea when I will get paid.
 
Not sars, just a little contrast
My wife didn't do any tax filing or paperwork apart from applying for her NI number when she landed.

Yesterday an envelope from HMRC arrived for her.
Inside was a cheque for 300 pounds because they calculated she'd been over taxed last tax year :)
 
I submitted my return yesterday and got an ITA34 showing a credit (refund). However, when I click Refund Status it returns "No Refund Due".

Does this means it has been processed and I should expect it in the coming days?

Where do the rest of you see the refund date? (I saw some people reporting a refund payout date).

Or is there a problem and should I phone?

Request a Statement of account. It shows your refund date.
 
Was this sent by email or it was in the correspondence section. I would check if it’s in efilling if it was an email.
No it was in my correspondence. I have now approached the Ombudsman as the same thing happend to my colleague for 2021 claims and she has been asked to supply the same documents 16 times and still no payout!
 
Over month after submitting supporting documents, I received notice today saying my verification has been completed with no changes. Does this mean a refund is on the table soon ?

For your sake I truly hope so. MAY THE ODDS BE FOREVER IN YOUR FAVOUR!! :)
It takes a day or so for your SOA to be updated but with it being Thursday, they might update today so they can pay you tomorrow.
 
To confirm, for provisional tax, I must file the 2023-1 return?
 
I see if they have done an additional assessment and that shows R0, the refund status starts showing as no refund due, even though the original assessment and SOA shows a balance due.
 
No such thing as escalation. Log a complaint, elapsed time is one of the options.
0860 12 12 16

Make a branch appointment online.


And then ask them to escalate it for you.

You may have to wait 2 weeks for an appointment date. The earliest I could get on Thursday was 26 August.

Otherwise you'll have to hold. The practitioner helpline is unavailable as well. There you have a call back option at least.

I have several verifications that haven't even had an auditor assignment. SARS has been a real mess the last few months.
I went ahead and logged the complaint on 15 August, without phoning them - sorry, I hate phoning people and wasn't in the mood for SARS. On that same day, the complaint was rejected with a "Cause of complaint still within Service Level." message.

Anyways, I stopped thinking about it, but then started checking what I needed to do to go to the ombudsman. Before I could take any action, got a letter today that the verification has been completed without any changes.

I see that some people in the thread got messages even after this, so I'm hoping that doesn't happen to me :confused:
