SARS refund payment period

  Written by Evan   Posted 8 July 2015

Good day,

I have submitted my tax return and SARS owes me a refund. About 4 days has passed so I contacted SARS and asked them what the reason is why my refund is being held back, they told me it is because I have not submitted my 2012 tax return, so I did. After I submitted my return for 2012 as well, I contacted them again and inquired if there is anything else that they need from me in order for me to receive my refund and they said no that everything is in order and that there is ...

Hi. My SARS status has been "Please note that your return cannot be processed as SARS is currently reviewing your assessment. The return will be reviewed as part of this process. SARS will advise you on the outcome in due course." for a week now and no changes to date.

Please can you perhaps give me some advice? I am busy doing my tax return now and only thinks of it now... I don't have a bank account anymore and my salary etc is getting paid into my Dad's account. What must I do and how must I make to claim it now?

Claim for home expenses

If I use your service, will my fee paid to you be deducted to the return and is there a guarantee I will get paid back for the home expenses?

I am not sure how to calculate other things like my garden and the helper fees.

Wear and tear allowance on sars code 3713

  Written by Evan   Posted 8 July 2015

I received a laptop allowance on a monthly basis. Laptop belongs to me. This appears on my IRP5 under source code 3713. I received this over 3 years. Can I claim a wear and tear allowance against this income?

I'm confused if I should claim over 3 years or just a single year as I've read different responses online. Also what supporting docs would SARS require? Would the tax invoice of my laptop be sufficient? Thanks

My return has been assessed with no mark for audit and I am due for a refund. Last year I got my refund quickly (a few days) - its been a week and nothing yet??? How long does is take and has anyone got money from them yet?

Am keen to know if I am due a refund or not. Earned R42,000.

At what point do you become a provisional tax payer?

Hi there. The 2014-2015 tax year will be my second tax season as a self employed 'freelance' architect. Last year when I submitted my tax at SARS they said I do not need to register for provisional tax and that they would 'let me know when I needed to' so I just submitted a summary of my income and expenses to SARS at the normal tax time and they verified everything and all was ok. This year I am earning double what I did last year and feeling a bit concerned that I may have missed the magic line which crosses me over into a provisional tax payer? ...

Is it normal to no longer receive a physical copy of your IRP5? For the last few years, I have not received the usual paper copy, but just logged on to eFiling and my IRP information was already filled in on my personal income tax return form.
