eFilling

Did mine on 24 June, got money 26 June at 00:00. It was pretty efficient before the big rush, hope it continues.
 
I do fall under that category indeed :)
I would have as I fall under all the lines, but started a new job in Jan (so two employers). The new job and new salary and new tax bracket, helped get me some tax back (submitted, waiting on money) as when that is lumped with my previous salary, I still fall under the previous bracket. I almost didn't even think that far and would have missed out!

I would still advise taxpayers to file returns even when falling under the criteria because there’s still a chance you can get money back.

I would have filed if I received an IRP5.

If you have anything like medical aid or RA etc, a must do!

I never had medical aid, retirement annuities etc. and my first year I got R2500 back and it was a straight up submission.

3 years ago same story and I got back almost R7000.
 
If I could WoW and Like I would. Every bit helps ay

I'll do my bit and buy rage tickets from you again this year if I miss it :LOL:
 
Finally submitted mine today......again , as with last year, selected for verification. Uploaded all the supporting docs, so now the wait. Last year it took months.

So what you guys think of the new look / feel of e-filing ?

I like it. Feels much more 2019 than the previous one. The whole form did lose my initial edits after I saved, which was strange. But except for that, I don't mind them taking my tax money for the changes.

Had the same issue, thought it was our work's internet that may be a bit slow as I had a few timeouts trying to navigate the menus.

Oh, and it was a bit of a krap-krap to find this years tax return in the first place.
 
I like the new look and feel. When I filed my return last week Thursday my tax status showed I'm "non-compliant". Turned out 2013 is outstanding, now last year it showed I had no outstanding returns and I got a refund (now remember you wont get a refund if you have outstanding returns:rolleyes:). Opened and submitted 2013 again then did 2019 and submitted. Tax Status then turned to "tax-compliant"... monies was in this morning, first time it took so long as all the previous occasions it took 2 day's from filing to payment (if I weren't audited)
 
Anyone tried to file? i don't see my tax certificate for 2019? Anyone else? I want moniesssss
I am not scrolling to the bottom to see if this was replied to or not.

around returns top right there is a request button you can smash and get it immediately

Returns Issued on the left -> ITR12 then top right corner click request return ..

i would not file now, after the upgrade there are calculation issues that are causing issues all over the place, maybe wait a week or three on this

I submitted on the 19th of June...it was open, so I clicked the button. Was selected for Audit, supplied the docs, and got my money on the 10th of July. Less than a month, really impressed, last year it took 3 months as well.
 
Nah don't do that. The SARS buggers will find you and tell you that you owe them 30K and you must pay or else. Happened to me, twice, the bastards. Last year they had to pay me monies though.

Umm this is not right. Was it maybe for admin penalties because you can get back that money?
I fell under that category as I was studying last year and only received a real salary Jan and Feb, so if I did not file a tax return I would not have gotten any money back.
Now I'm getting a (relatively) decent amount back.
But good to know for future reference, thanks.

And regarding your situation. If you paid PAYE in Jan&Feb you should get it back because for the year that ended in Feb you only got lets say 15k per month witch means 30k for the tax year. I would claim the hell out of them. I am an accountant and to be honest. Why should we pay tax? What do we get from SA in return for the tax we pay?

I were in a car accident Feb and the police and traffic police took 3 hours to get to the seen. The guy skipped a stop street his brake marks were 54m then he hit my car and my car still moved 12m and turned 90 degrees he hit my between the two doors on the passengers side. His bakkie had like 12/14 1L empty cords inside and he couldn't stand properly. When the police finally came out at around 12:30 the night I said I want them to test him for alcohol the women replied with "We don't have breathalyzers because it's in for calibration and they are not going to take him to the hospital to test because it's to much work. I had a Voice note of this. Long story short. I don't have insurance as it was an old car. I fractured a rib moved nerves in my back and the guy goes on living without any trouble. And me? No more wrestling (Was part of the proteas team) No more rugby. No more sitting for longer than one hour.
Made me change my mind about everything.

So if there is anyone that needs help/queries regarding tax. Message me or reply on the thread I will assist.

See way back in 2008 I went to register as a tax payer, took all my payslips and IRP5s and whatnot. Did the registration thing and then I asked them if I need to submit tax returns and was told no cos I was earning around 5k per month. Then fast forward to 2013 and I started getting letters that I owe them for returns not submitted and admin penalty fees which amounted to 30K. After a back and forth between me and them, and submitting receipts and shit, I get told I still need to pay. Got that done, eventually. After paying that, I phoned them and asked if there is any outstanding balances and was again told no. Last year I go to submit and lo and behold, I owe them 3k. So yeah. This year I was in the clear, yay.

Nah, I have no wish to go down that road with SARS, and having to pull out old records. What I paid a couple of years ago I got back last year and this year. So I'll call it a win while I'm ahead.

Actually its not a hassle you fill in a PDF form email it to them and wait the 21 working days

I got an IRP5 form from work the month before last, went on to check and it doesn’t seem to be loaded? Can I somehow upload the info from the hard copy or do I have to be patient?
 
OK, so this will be the first year I submit (fall under the category of not needing to submit but want to get into the habit)

Going to register for a username on the eFiling site, but I've got one or two questions.

1)I got my IRP5 for 2019 to 2020 in Feb, do I use that for this submission or do I need another cert?
2) What is the period that you can start submitting a return for, meaning what month does it open and close?

I know buggerall about this stuff, was never taught any of it by my parents so I'm flying blind here

THE IRP5 populates the majority of the relevant information for the last period (1 Feb to 31 jan) & you more need to verify that it is correct.

Within the above period from 2019 to 2020 - medical aid give you a tax certificate & you you also get ones for investments & retirement funds.

All in all, most of the relevant information is made available to you before the eFiling tax season starts - the process can be confusing but most hopefully know a person (or more) who can help explain SARS (non-tenderpreneur etc.)

It is 1 March to 28/29 Feb

I really hope people don't take efiling advise from someone that can't even get the tax period correct. Basic google search could have given you the correct period in an instant.


Copy and paste relevant info for the current tax filing year:


For the 2020 year of assessment (1 March 2019 - 29 February 2020)
  • R79 000 if you are younger than 65 years.
  • If you are 65 years of age or older, the tax threshold (i.e. the amount above which income tax becomes payable) increases to R122 300.
  • For taxpayers aged 75 years and older, this threshold is R136 750.
I hope that helps.
