SARS says submit my 2011/2012 tax returns but I wasnt employed nor did I have tax number

  Written by Marc   Posted 11 August 2015

I emailed SARS to enquire why my 2015/2015 tax returns have not been paid to me yet and they replied saying my 2011/2012 tax returns were not submitted so until they receive that then they will be able to pay me. However I received my 2012/2013 tax returns with no problems as well as my 2013/2014 tax returns as well.

Correction not amended on eFiling

  Written by Evan   Posted 11 August 2015

Hi Tim. I submitted my tax through SARS efiling. I am claiming for medical expenses not covered by Medical Aid. The amount to be paid out to me was R5 700. I then had to make a correction as I found another slip which was a lot of money, so I filed for a correction. The amount they paid out in the end, still reflected the initial amount of R5 700. What should I do?

  Written by Evan   Posted 11 August 2015

I have submitted my tax return for 2015 via SARS e filing but they keep asking me to upload supporting documents, which I do and then they tell me two weeks later that they have not received them.

Delayed refund from SARS?

  Written by Marc   Posted 9 August 2015

Hi there,

I submitted my tax rerun for this year and SARS have requested returns for 2011 and 2012. Since they didn't ask for these last year, am I correct in assuming that I didn't need to submit them in the past and will therefor not be penalized?

Also, my 2012 return has been selected for verification. Im assuming this is a random selection or perhaps because the three returns together equate to a refund due to me of around R12 000. I cant see any other reason fo...

Submitting old returns?

  Written by Marc   Posted 7 August 2015

Hi there, my wife is due a refund, after following up with SARS they said she needs to submit a return for 2009. The problem as you advised in your article (https://www. Taxtim. Com/za/blog/sars-isnt-paying-my-refund-they-want-my-old-returns) is that there is zero chance of acquiring those old documents now. Is her only option a police affadavit?

Can you submit a nil return for older years, even if she obviously was employed but there is tax documentation?...

  Written by Evan   Posted 6 August 2015

Hi Tim,

Firstly, I absolutely LOVE your website - it's put such a complicated system into an easy to understand format. Life saver tendencies :D!

I'm doing my own taxes (for the first time) via SARS eFiling and thanks to you the process has been rather easy. But I just need to double check on the following:

-I submitted supporting documentation. How long do I have to wait to receive my refund? I'm not being audited.
-Account statement shows a negative account balance (YAY) but what does 'aging transaction' mean?...

Documents requested from SARS?

  Written by Marc   Posted 6 August 2015

How long after you submitted your supporting doc's to sars,after they requested it, will they tell you if you are getting something back or not? And if you uploaded everything via efiling,how do you know if they have everything they need and is working on your return. The working page does not seem to indicate they received or are working on my scanned documents.
