How long does it usually take to get paid out from SARS after I've sent my supporting documents?

Posted 12 July 2013

I submitted my tax return and they notified me that I need to send supporting documents through. I did the next day. How long after i've submitted the documents does it usually take, assuming that there isn't an error with the documents? Best and worst case scenarios

You can wait anytime between 24 hours and 9 months, but SARS have been quick this season and you should expect an answer in a day or two.
