Haven't received my return 7 days after an IT34 was issued

Posted 16 July 2015

I submitted my tax stuff on SARS eFilling exactly 7 days ago today. SARS responded promptly with an IT34 notice, which indicated that I'm due to receive a tax return (which was a negative amount, not sure what that means. Do I owe SARS or do they owe me?). Now I still haven't received the money (7 days later). What could be the problem?

Hello
I submitted my tax return and it said that I was due a refund of about R800. I then went through my medical expenses and saw I made a mistake in my calculations.

I do not earn enough to do e-filing in the first place, I submit because of my medical expenses. Please help?!
