DIY eFiling vs Refund AI research
Most South Africans who file themselves use SARS eFiling. Refund AI does not replace eFiling — it sits beside it as a research aid so you can understand questions before you click Submit.
AI-generated information only — not tax, legal, or financial advice. Verify with SARS or a registered tax practitioner before relying on it.
