SARS still did not pay out

  Written by Marc  

Good day. We completed our tax on the 1st of July 2014. We were asked twice to send through our supporting documents, as we did so! We followed up several times, even got somebody to sort it out. In short, it is the 29th of April 2015, and SARS did not yet pay out our funds. Every time we call SARS they say there is a stopper, they will send through an email and it will take 21 working days. We did this 3 times, still nothing! What now??? What can we do???
