SARS eFiling 2023/2024

I e-filed on 10 December last year, was selected for verification (as expected), submitted all supporting docs but nothing has happened since.

How does one know if it has been allocated to anyone? I requested an SOA early in January but not a peep from SARS since.

I filed on the last day in October afaik and same same, expected verification, uploaded my docs in mid November. Was only allocated today. Got a sms, email, and correspondence loaded on my efiling. Cannot miss it

So you are probably a bit later in the queue given the december filing
 
I get sms & mail every week as a reminder to upload documents. Did you perhaps change your phone and/or email address ?

Nope. Nothing changed. Do get my monthly notifications for my business which is on my profile, but nothing about my personal tax submitted.
 
I love how they pretend they are performing a "service" for you and treat you like a "client". As if they're actually running a business instead of the legalised extortion racket it really is.
If I am a client then I can stop using the business and not be a client anymore. Apparently SARS does not accept that !
 
Got same email. Anyone has idea if they do respond within 21 days ? It is first time ever that I was asked to submit documents and it could only be due to solar rebate claim if I have to guess.
they 'aspire' to 21 days, mine took 2024/07/28 - 2024/12/31

Yoh - that is crazy. Was there lot of back and forth between you & SARS ? I mean did they perhaps ask you to resubmit something etc or did they call you for clarification ?

I need to dip into access bond again. I was kind of banking on refund from SARS (it is my 12th cheque for myself) but it doesn't look like it is going to happen soon.

They did not ask anything. I queried and escalated a few times. Nothing came of that.

For those who work overseas
( if you spend more that 183 days out of the country)
Still want to remain a sa tax resident
Work in dubai(tax free)
I understand the first R1.2 mil is tax free.

Question:

What tax rate will I be for my salary in Dubai when doing My sa tax return for the earnings over R1.2?
I understand I have to declare that as foreign income .

As far as I understand, the remainder above R1.2 million is taxed as per the income tax PAYE tables.

Thank you for contributing to our lovely South-Africa. :)
 
:oops: So I was chosen to be audited last year and I am getting worried....do they generally take 90 days? I submitted in October.
