SARS & eFiling - What gives?!

[GrahamS2]

This year I need to pay them, due to CGT on some unit trusts I sold. I'll make them wait until the very end.

[Thorn199]

Took one week from submission to pay-out.

[Flowta]

I just had to submit supporting documents.

 

Stuff that has already been submitted to them.

 

Luckily I'll get some money out of them this year

[Flowta]

I submitted on Thursday 5 July and I see on e-filing there is a "letter" dated Sunday 8 July requesting the info. 

 

If I hadn't gone onto e-filing to check when I can expect the payout, I would never have seen the letter. It hasn't been sent to my email.

Something wrong there.I get an sms and an email notifying me

[Carmichael]

Also playing the waiting game. Phoned them to ask when they will pay me and say they don't know yet... wth

[2 X 2]

Apparently it takes 5 working days.  Today is day 6......

[Sidersky]

The past few years, I have submitted, and a week or two later received a payment. Not big, but a couple thousand Rand usually. I don’t want lots of money from the tax man, I just don’t want to owe him if I can help it.  

 

This year, submitted on the evening of the 1^st of July, immediately flagged as to be audited. Asked for more documents. Uploaded said documents. Waited. On the 19^th of July they came back asking for more documents. Uploaded said documents. 2^nd of August, still waiting.

[Ed-Zulu]

I think we all know the pot they need to repay from is empty and will use every delaying tactic possible within their framework to delay.

 

I hear of people with payments due of less than R500 which submitted during first week still awaiting payment.

 

In my case submitted week 1 of tax season, immediately flagged (year 4) and asked for supporting documents, which was promptly submitted and still waiting...

 

I see a pattern here

[Wannabe]

Same with my Wife. 3rd year in a row, flagged and asked for supporting documents.

Last year we had to go and sit for 6 hours at SARS, just to GIVE/HAND them the supporting documents. Two days later money reflected in the bank.

I get audited every year. They normally raise an assessment, simply because the auditors don't always understand the tax law. I normally have to object. This process normally takes 6 months or so.

 

This year, they accepted the supporting docs and my refund was paid in two weeks. A record for me.

Same here . First time in 20 years, no docs, no audit . Paid out in 5 days.

You wrote Purple Rain fer goodness sake. Of course they'll pay you out quickly.

[LongDonkey]

Submitted support docs 3 weeks ago. Nothing yet. But someone i know in the Durds office says i will wait 21 (working ?) days easy these days. But all the info was there waiting for me on my forms, so they are definitely creating a VERY nice tracking schedule of all my financial activities

I see a pattern here

 

I took all my supporting documents with because I have been audited for 5 years on the trot. My return has not changed. I have to go in anyway as we claim medical expenses on my Mom inlaw and SARS requires 12 months bank statements to prove payment which I can't upload electronically... Waiting patiently for the results.

 

My wife was selected for audit and was asked to submit documents. Next day she received her refund without submitting documents....
