SARS reminds taxpayers that the filing season deadline for provisional taxpayers ends on February 15.
SARS commissioner Edward Kieswetter said taxpayers are encouraged to use eFiling or the SARS MobiApp, which is a convenient and safe online method to transact with SARS under the current circumstances.
He urged taxpayers who received auto-assessment notices last year but who have not yet either accepted the auto-assessments or edited and filed a return in response to the notice, to make use of this opportunity to do so.
Kieswetter urged these taxpayers to comply with their legal obligations by February 15, as all taxpayers must remain compliant.
Failure by provisional taxpayers and auto-assessment taxpayers to edit and file a return to comply by this date will result in administrative penalties being levied.
“While SARS believes most taxpayers and traders comply voluntarily and want to do the right thing, we also have measures we can use to enforce compliance. However, such enforcement always remains a last resort,” he said.
