Pretty sure that is going to increase chances of a tax audit. Repeated recalculation = pretty certain indicator of someone trying to cook the numbers.

Thats the theory anyway...whether that is actually used as a selection criteria can't say

I don't think they use that metric, suppose it may contribute in some way but it's a bit of a long shot to link repeat calculations to tax evasion. Some people are just plain stupid and will recalculate every 5mins and then realise wait I forgot this or that, imagine how audits they'd be doing. It's not a crime or no rule against changing your filing before submission or recalculating every 5mins. Suppose it will all be logged, ie each saved itr12 version(or whichever submission it is) and each saved calculation.

Op will just need to do one calculation and he'll probably be using pretty much the figures for the finally submission anyway.

It will not. The system only look at submitted returns. You can recalculate to your hearts content but if you use that file button more than two times you will be audited.

Meaning you can only resubmit/file, perhaps after making a mistake, only once before the alarm bells start ringing Sars side?

Personally I think SARS has better things to do... unless you're talking of a few million PA or more...
