SARS eFiling 2025/2026

[Devon101]

SARS has an amount of R161 whereas the IT3b has R0.37. I cannot change it as decimals are not allowed and cannot set it to 0. Should I change it to 1 and hope SARS asks for documents? It's only this Sygnia holdup.

Has anyone successfully gotten calculation results, requested mid-morning yesterday and still says awaiting results. Sure the calculation was pretty much instant last year

Also, stated wait 24h yesterday, still no calc this morning. Asessment worked instantly once submitted.

72 hours excluding weekend. Assessments done on Friday were paid yesterday.

 

[DHimself]

I'm being audited. Again. Sigh.

 

[Gory51]

Submitted and selected for verification. Sigh as well.

Anyone know how long this process takes?

Salary plus allowance
Vehicle allowance with log book (Though have not uploaded that yet)
2 pot claim
Medical Aid

That is all

Any odd things I may need to include with above besides the obvious proof of all claims?

Return filed on 25thJuly…no selected for Audit. 27th July got email for supporting documents, 28thJuly morning submitted documents. But my SOA still say Not selected for Audit … nothing else so far.

Docs submitted, Tax Certificates for 2pot withdrawal , they also mention work contract.. and submitted it as well that’s all ..

I was not working March 2024 to 14 July 2024

Anything I might have missed ?

Does anyone have a way to contact Sars that is better than the call centre?
My e-filing profile has been broken since last year; it doesn't populate my data, no matter how many times I refresh it. This was an issue last year as well and I contacted Sars who said they'd fix it, but it never got fixed.

Please, I can't spend a whole day at SARS again doing a return that I should be able to do on efiling.

You've probably been paid, and it will reflect on Monday.

What are the main reasons people get tax refunds? It's only if you overpaid during the year right? Or if you declare expenses that offset the income that SARS knows about?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong in my life. I always have to pay in extra because I saved and earned interest.

Paying to much tax is a HR issue actually, but yes, it is one of them.

Secondly, investing in a RA.

Thirdly, expensive medical bills

Your interest statement, sadly anything more than R23800 is seen as income. Switch to EFT’s!

The payment due date on the assessment only applies to amounts owing to SARS. SARS does not give an advance date for payments. Once everything is finalized, the EFT will appear on your statement the day before it is released. You can only wait until SARS is done.

Ok, I think I was wrong. So that payment date doesn't mean what I thought it meant.

Submitted online on Saturday.
Paid refund this morning even though it said payment date will be 1 September.
