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
 
Just submitted - system was surprisingly fast, getting a lekker payout also (no verification).
 
Hello guys. Perhaps you can shed some light. Did my ITR12 today and calculated the result.

Appart from my normal IRP5 the only other income on it is interest received from Bank Zero for about R2000.00

The calculation shows I need to pay SARS R6000.00 ????

I don't understand how. :(
 
No auto-assessment this year for me. Trying to update my return and everything just times out on the site.

Ask HR if they paid to little tax

Could be a few things - your employer underpaid PAYE and you need to pay in the missing amount. Did you change jobs? Any allowances for travel, etc? Salary increases?

If none of that, then your HR just paid too little tax on your behalf during the year using wrong tax tables. Usually people get tax back because their employee took too much off your salary and you getting a refund.

Without seeing the ITR12 it's hard to say exactly why.

Also your HR misundestood you - you're not asking them file your tax, you're asking them how they calculated your tax tables when they deduct it every month.
 
Submitted mine with additional medical info. Got the request for supporting docs, submitted them and now we wait...

Yeah mine's the same; even though nothing has changed for years. Many moons ago I had a tax consultant do it for me and ever since then it always defaults to "This was completed by a tax practisioner" tick , and I'm guessing when I untick it, it autoflags it for assessment. Wish I could change it. My wife's one gets auto assessed each year and it's so easy.
 
Couldn’t sleep on Sunday night, at about 3AM Monday morning I logged in and completed my assessment. Completed by Tax Practitioner box was also ticked, I unchecked it. Getting a nice refund, not selected for verification (phew).
SOA shows payment date 1 August which sucks.
 
I messed up with mine last night. I used my IRP5 for the medical aid contributions and not the actual medical aid certificate, and did not take heed of the automatic notice when filling the details in, which tells you to use the amount on your medical aid certificate unless otherwise instructed to use your IRP5.

I got a request for supporting docs (medical aid certificate), but when I picked up on my error, I asked to resubmit and redone the whole thing this morning.

Don't sit and look at numbers when you are tired. Just go to bed and leave it for the next day. 😐
 
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
