Account balance due by you, what does this mean?

By Marc Sevitz · Updated

I submitted my IRP5 on Friday and received an SMS saying "thank you for filing your 2013 tax return, account balance: R2120 due by you, please refer to your mail". What does this mean? I haven't received my money yet, what can I do?

You can log onto eFiling and check your balance status. "Amount due by you" means the amount is owed to SARS and not by SARS, so you have to pay it to them. This means you owe SARS that amount as a result of your assessment.
