SARS eFiling 2025/2026

Anybody use TaxTim before? Is it worth it or just do it yourself?
I just saw them as an option when you download your tax stuff from EasyEquities.
Not needed if your tax is fairly simple.
efiling is pretty easy if the site doesnt have massive traffic.

I think most took less than 5min to do their refund because everything is prepopulated, while with Taxtim, you have to still populate everything.
 
Managed to get in after the virtual queue and submit my return. Any idea how long it takes to get paid your refund if you are not selected for verification?
They'll likely process payment tomorrow. Should have your mid year bonus before the weekend
 
Everything going smoothly on my side. Refund has been processed, showing that it will be transferred tomorrow.
2nd year in a row that my efiling has been so smooth after several years of verifications and audits
 
Managed to get in, filled everything in, I am missing one S18A that I need to get, saved and calculated but get this...

Anybody else have this issue? This is specific to a Liberty IRP5/ITA34, I moved some preservation funds from Liberty to Allan Grey last year, fairly standard stuff.
I had a similar issue. Eventually, I found an attachment in the email from Sanlam confirming that the transaction conducted last year was complete that contained an IRP5. I was able to do the calculation after uploading the information.

About five minutes later, I received an email requesting me to upload the certificate...
 
14/07/26 16:14 Generated form and filled it in. Took 10min (was lazy and did all the calculation while filling in)
14/07/26 16:24 Filed. Now I wait for the inevitable upload documents request. (Selected for audit or verification = Y)
14/07/26 16:25 Please submit supporting document. Suspect reason was: Had to add 1xforeign interest / 2x exempt foreign dividends that was not autofilled, was on the same tax certificate for others that were autofilled (really annoying). Some medical expenses.
Site felt responsive, even generating the form was quick.
Well this is even more annoying

So I got the list of info submitted and lo and behold the 3 entries I added is in there, it just was not on the autogenerated form !

So the IRP5 was never uploaded to SARS eFiling by Sanlam? Liberty's IRP5 is on my eFiling profile, SARS just doesn't like it for some reason, but other than the 'no Lump Sum amount declared' in the message when I try calculate my return, I have no idea what the issue is.
