How long does a refund take after verification?

  Written by Evan   Posted 19 July 2015

Hi. I did my tax return on SARS E filing on the 14/7/15. They then asked for documents which I sent the same day. Until now I have not heard from them. I sent in my Income protector cert and Med aid expense. I did not claim for anything else.

Usually they refund me within a day or two. Is it normal for it to take longer for verification or should I go into their office and make an inquiry?

Old Irp5 missing

  Written by Evan   Posted 19 July 2015

I have submitted my Irp5 at a SARS office which I have received June 2015. They informed me that I am being audited and that I had to submit certain documents which I did.

They then informed me that because I was audited the pay out will take 30 days and also that I have an outstanding IRP5 from 2010 that I have to submit that before I can receive my tax return. ...
