SARS urges taxpayers to remain compliant

SARS has started auto-assessing certain taxpayers in their new phase of modernisation as such, it can compile and assess tax submissions with little input from the taxpayer.

Since Tuesday, taxpayers can visit SARS branches, for assistance with completing and submitting their tax returns. However, they can only do so by making an appointment, due to social distancing requirements under lockdown regulations.

With modern digital technologies at its disposal, SARS is able to collect electronic tax data from employers, financial institutions, medical schemes, retirement annuity fund administrators and other third-party data providers.
