How to Prepare for a SARS Diesel Refund Verification

Preparation happens before the request arrives, not after.

Last updated 4 September 2026

Assemble the pack per period

A verification asks the same underlying question: can you reconstruct the claim?

  • Supplier invoices and delivery notes
  • Tank readings and reconciliation
  • Dispensing records with equipment identifiers
  • Equipment and operator registers
  • Contractor agreements and fuel issue records
  • The claim calculation and supporting schedules

Respond in a structured way

Answer what was asked, reference the supporting schedule, and be explicit about anything that cannot be supported. Professional representation should be coordinated where required.
