Objection allowed, how long before SARS refunds me?
Posted 6 September 2014
I completed my 2014 tax return in July, but was then chosen for audit. After receiving a finalisation letter, I was chosen for a 2nd audit and requested to send more doc's. eFiling however was not "opened up" so the doc's could be uploaded, and an ITA34 was issued without the necessary doc's. I disputed the assessment, and received a notification that the objection was allowed on the 3rd of September. How long will it now take SARS to refund the money into my account?

Use of employer Owned cellphone for fringe benefit purposes?
Posted 5 September 2014
We have entered into 20 cellphone contracts with a service provider this month. We will be giving our staff members employer owned handsets to use for work purposes ie business calls, work emails. These will come with R100 airtime, 300MB of data, 25 sms per month. We will be paying R280 per phone pm.
Please advise on whether this fringe benefit is fully taxable. Someone from SARS just told me that it is but I don't believe him.
Still no refund paid 1.5 months after completion letter from SARS.
Posted 5 September 2014
I filed my tax return on 14-7-2014, got a completion letter on 25-7-2014 with an amount payable to me. On my eFiling tax workpage it says under Sars status: "Return ?%u20AC%u201C Data Submitted To ITS". They still didn't pay the money into my account. I phoned Sars and asked what the problem was and they only replied that it sometimes takes as long as 30 working days from the date of filing.
I still didn't get the money. What can I do next?
