Managing Expectations How Long Until the Funds Clear?

Hi everyone,

I’ve finally submitted all my paperwork for the last quarter, but now I’m stuck in the waiting game. As a small business owner, I rely on that capital to pay my suppliers and keep the lights on in my home office.

It’s difficult to plan my next marketing campaign when I don't know exactly when the funds will hit my account.

I’m trying to find some historical data or a typical schedule that other entrepreneurs in the region follow so I can manage my cash flow more effectively. What is the standard VAT Timeline in South Africa?

Thanks in advance.
