In general, here are some steps you can take to determine the status of your tax refund with SARS:
- Keep track of your tax return: Ensure that you have submitted your tax return accurately and on time. You can file your tax return either online through eFiling or by submitting a physical return at a SARS branch.
- Obtain an acknowledgment of receipt: After submitting your tax return, SARS will provide you with an acknowledgment of receipt. This document will confirm that your return has been received and is being processed.
- Check your tax return status: Visit the SARS eFiling website and log in to your account. You should be able to view the status of your tax return, including whether it has been assessed, finalized, or if any additional information is required.
- Contact SARS directly: If you have concerns about the progress of your refund or if you believe there might be a delay, it’s advisable to reach out to SARS for assistance. They will have access to your specific information and can provide you with updates on your refund status.
Remember that the processing time for tax refunds can vary depending on various factors, such as the complexity of your return, the volume of returns being processed, and any additional verification processes that may be required. It’s always best to consult the official guidelines provided by SARS or contact them directly for accurate information regarding your specific refund status.
