I have been audited and as this is the first time that it has happened to me, I have send through all documents that they requested. I was travelling away for work and could only electronically updated my papers for them on the 06/10/2015 after they send me a letter that I am being audited on 09/109/2015. According to my knowledge you have 21 Working days to send all paper work threw as from day of notice. Till now I have not received any information on when the money will be paid out. No other paper work has been requested from them. How long does it usually take to let you know after being audited when you will be paid out????

SARS can take up to 30 days to review your supporting documents. Please read our blog on the Audit verification procedure to understand it better. Please also read our blog on Why haven't I received my tax refund yet? to see if any of these situations apply to you.

You could always call SARS on 0800 007 277 to find out where they are in the process.
