Why is it taking so long to receive the pay out, is there something I missed ?

I submitted my tax return via SARS eFiling and received the ITA34 - and notifications saying that SARS owes me. I submitted the tax return on the 25th. People have been saying it takes between 2-3 days to receive a pay out and SARS sends a sms or email to say when the money will be paid. How come I have not heard anything yet?

Please read our blog on Why haven't I received my tax refund yet? to see situations that would delay a refund.
You can always call SARS on 0800 007 277 to follow up.
