I've done e filling for the 1st tym ever on the 14th of July. It was submitted and I got a negative so knowing that SARS owes me a refund I'd like to know how does it actually take for them to pay or must I submit some documents.

Go back to your eFiling and see if there is a block for you to enter documents, it will be just under where you submitted your return - let us know?

My last year tax return was not submitted can this affect the refund that is due to me this year?
If yes can I still complete it and submit?
