Refund and auditing outcome

I initially filled for my tax returns for 2015 and I was told that I had two outstanding years I have to filled and until I do, i'm not going to receive my refund and I was told that i've been selected for an audit as it's mostly the case for foreign contract workers. So within, two weeks, I submitted the remaining two outstanding years at a SARS office at Richardsbay. I received my ITA34 alright for both years just like the earlier one. So in total, I was due for about R13700 refund pending the outcome of the audit. I was given same dates on my ITA34. The first date was 01-01-2016 and the second 31-01-2016. I've not received anything from SARS again whether they are through with the audit or not. Should I still expect some money from them?

Those dates are not reflective for refunds, they relate to payments owing to SARS. You need to wait for the outcome of the audit before SARS will make payment.
