After audit is done and not calculations were changed by SARS how long before refund is done?

Posted 15 October 2015

Good morning, my dad is 81 and his docs were requested for an audit which we uploaded via eFiling. We received notification that his tax has been finalized and no adjustments to the calculations were made. This was already in the middle of September. We have not had any further correspondence and the R824. 00 rand have not yet been refunded to him. Is there something I must do? Does these refunds take a long time to be paid over?

Are there issues with turnaround times and risk of SARS breaching them?

Posted 15 October 2015

My tax return was singled out for verification. I submitted all supporting documentation on the 14th September 2015. I am now sitting on 23 working days and have heard nothing from SARS. Are there issues with their turnaround times this year and also, does the 30 days imply that my refund will also be issued within this timeframe?

Agent fees and tax declaration

Posted 15 October 2015

If you receive income via an agent which has not been taxed, what is the income declared? Eg: I get paid R10 000 for a job. The agent takes R2000. Do I declare R10 000 or R8000 as income earned?
Also, what proof do I have to show this if audited?

Claiming back tax, how do I do it and how does it work?

Posted 7 October 2015

What does tax returns include? I'm new in the employment sector and I don't really understand how this works. I know that I pay tax every month over R1000. Last year I was also taxed for a seasonal job I did as a student, being an exam assistant for the department of education in the eastern cape and I was told I can claim back my tax, how do I go about doing that? I am just interested in knowing how to claim tax back.
