Hi TaxTim,

I have just submitted my first tax return and the assessment notice is a red negative amount of rands. What does this mean? Does this mean I need to pay SARS that amount? If so, how long do I have to pay them?

This means you will receive a refund from SARS which you get in the next few days.

Thanks TaxTim, one more question though, I pushed the dispute button and then got an email from SARS saying request for supporting documentation, what does that mean?!

This means that you have by accident filed an objection - submit the supporting documents again and on the NOO that pops up - put in there that you made a mistake.
