In case you were wondering, this is how it’s done.

Step 1 – Once your tax return is submitted:

• Once we have reviewed your tax return assessment, and confirm that SARS has marked it for audit, we take all the documents that you have previously supplied us scan and upload them into eFiling.
• We then send you an email confirming your assessment has been marked for audit and email you to let you know all supporting documents have been uploaded.

Step 2 – Audit outcome:

• Although we continuously follow up with SARS, they can take up to 60 working days to provide an outcome.
• When the outcome is received we notify you via email.
• Only when the audit is completed and changes have been made by SARS do we then need to do an objection.
