Why is SARS taking so long with my refund?

Posted 22 August 2014

i sent in my tax return 1182104 they then asked me for supporting documents, I sent it within 15min after the sms was sent. How long does it normally take after this for an audit to be completed?

The reason you may have a delayed refund from SARS is due to their timing of audits. Please read through the blog for a better idea of the timeframes.
