My eFiling profile says my supporting documents have been converted. How long till I get my refund?

  Written by Marc   Posted 30 July 2013

Hi Tim

I submitted my tax returns via SARS efiling on the 22nd of July and they asked for supporting documents. I submitted my IRP5 and Medical Aid Tax certificate on the 23rd of July. On my profile it says my documents have been converted....does that mean they have been received? How long till I get my refund? I read on your site that SARS was doing things faster this time around.

PS Thanks for a very informative site, it made my efiling a lot easier.

Can I amend my ITR12 to reflect a correct deduction after its been audited?

  Written by Marc   Posted 30 July 2013

Can I amend my ITR12 to reflect a correct deduction? I put a deduction for a work laptop that I purchased (I have a laptop allowance) in the wrong section and it was disallowed, so I need to change it. My ITR12 has already been audited and I've been refunded, but the disallowed deduction means I'm owed about R1300 by SARS.

What do I do next?

No supporting documentation and previous tax year audits

  Written by Marc   Posted 29 July 2013

Hi TaxTim,

Two simple questions that I can't find answers to anywhere:

1. What happens if you cannot support expenses for a specific category on a tax audit for year that has already passed and been assessed (say audited for 2010/11 in 2013)? I.e. you lost an expenses file for the full 5 year tax period, and only have partial records via bank statements?

2. How likely is this scenario - i.e. SARS randomly auditing for previous tax years. I.e. during the 2013-14 tax year are you at risk of being randomly audited for the 2011-12 tax year?...
