How long to wait for refund after change of banking details at a SARS branch?

By Marc Sevitz · Updated 5 September 2014

Afternoon, I submitted my IRP5 at SARS Springs branch on Tuesday 2/09/2014 and I got an sms that there's money due to me few minutes after submitting. Then I went back to SARS Springs on Friday 5/09/2014 to change my banking details because I realized that I have changed my account from savings to cheque last year November but didn't update/ change it with SARS. I would like to know if it's still going to take 48hours to get my refund paid out into my account.

SARS can take 48 hours, but in some cases this can take 30 working days. You would need to be patient, but your refund will be paid out.
