Tax eFiling deadline approaches
With digital filing still available, SARS is expecting an estimated 1 744 535 of the outstanding returns to still be submitted through this channel.
SARS has urged taxpayers, who have not submitted their returns, to make use of the SARS eFiling system before the deadline on 4 December.
Should the extended electronic filing period not be used, administrative penalties will be levied for every month the return is outstanding. The non-filing of returns is a criminal offence.
