Logged my tax return on Monday, got my assessment this morning. Must say I'm quite impressed with the turnaround time. It's actually funny how the government department responsible for money is so efficient.

Okay.
Filed my tax return (IRP5 and medical aid).
Amount says R -12 242.89.
Now they asked me for my supporting docs. So I uploaded my IRP5 and Medical Tax certificate.
I didn't bother claiming for km's travelled - didn't keep a logbook()
Under the Statement of Account issued, it says selected for Audit.
Firt time ever. Last year they paid me R8000 or something.
I hope its a threshold or something, that rompts the 'selected for audit'.
Does it mean I'm in k@k for something?
I filed the return with absolute honesty and integrity.
I still have zero![]()
rapid the audit will take a bit longer so you need to wait it out.
Filed this morning..
Naks, do try the phone first. The few times I've phoned them, the people on the other side actually knew what they were doing.![]()
Yah, spent about an hour on the phone since Monday, the only thing they recommend is to go to a branch to sort it out.
Okay just received a notice of a statement of account.
The only change now, is that the 'selected for audit' is now 'No'.
The unprocessed payment is still 0.00.
What is happening now? Have they paid me? Or is the amount in limbo until the supporting documentation has been loooked at?

What a mess: previous employer's payroll system filed an IRP5 and somehow in the process re-registered me as a taxpayer with a new tax ref. number. So now I am registered as 2 taxpayers, with 2 IRP5s with different tax ref numbers
I foresee a long, painful process ahead at a SARS office to clear up this mess #smh
Does it say Electronic payment on the statement?
Nope, nada.
It just says 'R-12,241.28'.
I guess I should just be patient then?
