Will my refund be issued if I have old returns outstanding?

I have completed my income tax, and there is a refund owed to me. Will this be paid out if I have not done the assessments for the years 2011 and 2012. But I do not have any documentation from those years

SARS system wont clear the refund as your tax affairs are not in order.

You will need to contact the SARS call centre and hear if they have an IRP5 on their system for you for the 2012 tax year. If they do, you will have to make a trip into a SARS office and take along an
affidavit stating the reason you had no way of obtaining the information via other means.
Once you have submitted your 2012 tax return, you should be able to receive your refund.
