Changed banking details at SARS but old details still show

Posted 29 July 2015

I have completed my tax return on efiling and SARS owes me money, with no (N) Audit. I changed my banking details at SARS office directly two weeks ago successfully, but when I was busy doing my return online, I noticed my old banking details where still there. I then proceeded to change them to the new ones manually on efiling. Why were my old banking details still visible there? and will they ask me to verify this again, even after I did that at the SARS office?

SARS Statuses

Posted 29 July 2015

What do the different SARS statuses mean? The ones at the top of SARS eFiling that says "SARS Status". Mine states "Return - Assessed" The reason I am asking is because I have been selected for verification \ audit (again) and was just wondering if this meant that they have looked at the supporting documents and moved on to the next phase?

Out of pocket medical claims and gap cover

Posted 29 July 2015

I would like to know whether the medical expenses listed on your certificate as "not covered or paid by your medical aid" is recoverable as "out of pocket" medical expenses whether they relate to medical consultations with specialists and part payment for hospital fees. In certain cases, these part payments were recovered from gap cover.
