How long does a payment dispute assessment take?

I'm a seasonal worker I've submitted my tax returns in August, was suppose to receive my first payment on the 1st of October but it was reversed because my tax cert indicates I've worked for 4 months in 2015 tax year, SARS requested that I submit an affidavit and I did all of that but since then haven't received any correspondence from SARS.

How long is it going take for them to reverse back my money to me? Or should I be worried there's more issues coming?

Unfortunately SARS can take up to 30 days to review any documents you submit to them - sometimes even longer.

Please read our blog on Why haven't I received my tax refund yet?

It might be best to call SARS on 0800 007 277 to follow up the reasons for the delay and to ask when you can expect payment.
