Medical deductions - sole beneficiary or payer?

Changed banking details at SARS but old details still show



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



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? To me "Return - Assessed" means that everything has been looked at and it is almost finalised. Am I correct in thinking so? Thanks

Sars E-filing or not? Earn under R350 000



Hi Taxtim. I already completed my tax return today via sars e-filing. The sars calculator shows a amount refundable to me.

Also I didn't change jobs, I worked for the same company for a year and 4 months but we were franchised so I have two different IRP5's from two different cc's.
