Completion Letter

I was selected for audit. I have been waiting for more than 21 days now. I received a letter yesterday in my SARS eFiling profile - completion letter what is going to happen now.

Did your assessment remain the same or did you receive a second assessment?

It came back as reduced assessment,they asked for supporting documents again.I submitted them on the 22 October.

Since you have received two assessments, it would be best to request a Statement of Account so that you can see your final balance due/payable to SARS.


Since you have received a Completion Letter, assuming you are due a refund, it should be paid out in the next few days. If its not received in a couple of days, you could always call SARS to follow up on 0800 007 277. If you have any outstanding tax returns from prior years, this would delay payment until these are filed.

If you owe SARS money, you should make payment by the date stipulated in the second assessment.

Hi I did request a statement and it shows a balance of -5156.I hope I will receive it in a few days.Thanks Tim.

You should receive the money in a few days yes.

Thanks This letter is confusing it says no adjustment has been made,but there is a - balance on my statement.I'm confused now.Please explain that.

Please call 0800 00 7277 to find out when they will be paying you the refund?

Will do thanx

Glad we could assist!

Hi Tim got my refund this morning,thank you very much for your help.

Wonderful!
