I submitted my returns on efiling about 3 weeks ago. When I called for a follow up, I was advised my address is "unknown" on the system and that I'll have to go to the SARS branch with my bank statement, certified ID copy and proof of residence. I did than on Monday and when I called again on Thursday, I was told to go to the branch again to update my details as the system still said my address is "unknown".

May I deduct contributions made to my father's medical aid?
Posted 4 August 2012

How do I know if I am a tax resident of South Africa?
Posted 15 March 2012
