WITH five days left until the 2017 tax season deadline, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) has received over five million tax returns.
“Non-provisional individual taxpayers have one week left to file their tax returns before Tax Season officially closes for this category of taxpayers on Friday, 24 November 2017. Already 5 015 405 tax returns have been received as at 3pm on 15 November 2017,” said the revenue service on Thursday.
The returns received by SARS includes tax returns received this year and outstanding returns from previous years that have been submitted during this filing season.

Provisional taxpayers, who receive income other than a salary, have until 31 January 2018 to submit their tax returns via eFiling.
The revenue service reminded taxpayers that eFiling is the easiest and quickest way to file one’s tax return and is available 24 hours.
SARS has also made help-you-efile available – a service that immediately connects eFilers to a SARS tax agent while on their own eFiling profile during office hours.
