I submitted my tax return 16 November 2015. And from that time until now im waiting for payment. I have been calling SARS twice a week since then and every time I call them  its a different story. I'm currently out the country working in Ghana and is  difficult to call all the time. All my paperwork is handed in and correct. They keep on telling me I'm under audit and they will escalate it for me. What can I do?

Please read our blog on Why haven't I received my tax refund yet? to see if these situations apply to you.

The audit process can take a long time. Please read up on the Audit verification procedure

If your prior year filings are up to date, and you don't need to verify your bank details with SARS and you feel you are receiving bad service, you can always lodge a complaint
How to complain about SARS

Good luck!
