I submitted my 2011 & 2012 IRP5s yesterday and received a message that I'm owed a refund from SARS. Any idea of when I can expect this refund?

Thanks for the help!

Were you asked to submit supporting documents to SARS?

No, I received this from Tax Tim:

"Luckily SARS will not be auditing you this year." Which I assume means they do not require any supporting documentation?

Thanks.

Assuming you are up to date with your prior year tax filings and SARS has latest record of you bank account details, then you should receive your refund in a few days.

Please also read our blog on Why haven't I received my tax refund yet?

If you don't receive it in a few days, you could always call SARS on 0800 007 277 to follow up.
