Maybe sort that nonsense out first! We know South Africa is losing tens-of-billions of rands through illicit trade in the tobacco industry, fuel industry, gold refining industry… We know there’s been aggressive planning and complicated structures that large corporates engage in that has seen billions of rands flowing offshore, not all of it legitimately… We know there are 2.1 million South Africans with financial assets offshore…Edward Kieswetter, Commissioner - South African Revenue Servic Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, could also be as a result of companies not having time to process IRP5's with Lock Down etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That article is now gone though, can't find it anywhere.I did find this which again says 1st September 2020..........https://www.sars.gov.za/TaxTypes/PIT/Tax-Season/Pages/default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbarn Killer Posted June 10, 2020 Share Didn't SARS say that they would do everything to speed up the payment of refunds. How is moving the filing season by two months going to achieve this? We have also not seen anything from a VAT point of view where refunds have been processed any faster. Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have also not seen anything from a VAT point of view where refunds have been processed any faster.We're actually seeing a delay of almost 60 days and the excuses are all COVID related. This is going to have serious implications for the economy in our case it's a serious sum of money. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranswurm Posted June 23, 2020 Share They have to wait for the IMF loan to hit the account before they will have any money to give back to us...They did mine recently and it was a hefty sum.I have always found once you supply the required paperwork and keep going they come to the party.Since I returned to RSA in 2012 and became a taxpayer again they have not let me down once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted July 9, 2020 Share Just an update.I logged into efiling yesterday and was able to submit.The IRP5 section was completely empty and I had to manually fill it in from my employer supplied print out.I do have quite a nice reimbursement again and so was AGAIN audited.I just made sure to attach anything they may possibly want to see, that included the IRP5 print out, car purchase as they asked for that after the fact last year.Still saying 21 work days so lets wait and see........
