Hem says: 1 March 2016 at 5:50 I would like to know is its unusual for SARS to take more then a year to pay out tax refund? And how common is it that after the payout into my bank account does SARS recall the payout? |
TaxTim says: 1 March 2016 at 7:29 No, it should have been paid by now, have you called SARS to enquire why they are not making payment? |
Hem says: 1 March 2016 at 10:33 Yes, Ive been to the offices last year. I was told that my FICA needed to be done - I have now done that. I spoke to the consultant and according to her it was all up to date. I'm still waiting since October 2015. I completed last years tax return and there is still another refund which is also sitting in the queue now. |
TaxTim says: 2 March 2016 at 10:11 Please let us know what they say. |
Hem says: 3 March 2016 at 18:56 I called SARS and apparently I had a special block, I have requested that they provide more info as to why and what else is required of me to clear this block. Is this common? |
TaxTim says: 6 March 2016 at 18:32 Yes it is and they should send instruction to payment office to make payment. Did they indicate they would do this? |
Hem says: 6 March 2016 at 18:36 The agent said he escalated and requested they provide more info as to why there is a special block else payment should be released. He said it can take up to 21 working days, so an entire month of waiting. On a side note, cannot wait for TaxTim to get going with sme product, and soon I will be doing my 2016 tax returns with you ;) |
