Refund time



My return has been assessed with no mark for audit and I am due for a refund. Last year I got my refund quickly (a few days) - its been a week and nothing yet??? How long does is take and has anyone got money from them yet?

If I earned only R42000 in 2013, having worked for only three months, and paid R6000 in tax, for that earning, over the whole year, is there a possibility I could get a tax refund based on the primary tax rebates and my medical spend of R1000?

Last year when I submitted my tax at SARS they said I do not need to register for provisional tax and that they would 'let me know when I needed to' so I just submitted a summary of my income and expenses to SARS at the normal tax time and they verified everything and all was ok. This year I am earning double what I did last year and feeling a bit concerned that I may have missed the magic line which crosses me over into a provisional tax payer? ...

For the last few years, I have not received the usual paper copy, but just logged on to eFiling and my IRP information was already filled in on my personal income tax return form.
