SARS has extended its branch operating hours until Thursday 22 October to help tax payers. Branches will be open from 08:00 to 18:00.
If you go to file at a branch, you have to take all relevant supporting documents with, such as your green bar-coded ID or driving licence, proof of residence, bank statements not older than three months, proof of income / pay slips / IRP5 and tax certificates.
