I've done e filling for the 1st tym ever on the 14th of July. It was submitted and I got a negative so knowing that SARS owes me a refund I'd like to know how does it actually take for them to pay or must I submit some documents.

Go back to your eFiling and see if there is a block for you to enter documents, it will be just under where you submitted your return - let us know?

You would need to call 0800 00 7277 to find our why your refund has not been paid out yet.

My last year tax return was not submitted can this affect the refund that is due to me this year?
If yes can I still complete it and submit?

Yes, you need to then submit your return for 2014 before SARS will allow the refund to be released. Register for TaxTim and we can help you complete and submit your tax return to SARS.
