I would just like to find out I did my income tax and it showed they owe me R5000 but after that I was sent for verification but now as I check my SARS eFilling profile it says assessment received does it mean I will get paid soon or what?

SARS will now perform their audit on your documents and have 21 working days in order to finalise. When they are finished you will receive a Completion Letter with the result of their check and then you should be paid.

If you would like to read more about the process please look at our blog on why you may have a delayed refund from SARS.
