Taxpayers who are due to make payments to SARS are urged to do so at their earliest convenience to avoid unnecessary delays, penalties and interest for late payment.

“All taxpayers, who will be making payments to SARS through various platforms, such as eFiling, EFT and payments at banks, can be confident that these payment platforms are robust, secure and safe.

“These digital platforms conform to internationally recognised standards, and they are user-friendly, enabling taxpayers to transact with SARS and comply with their legal obligations,” SARS said in a statement.

Furthermore, taxpayers are warned to remain ‘extremely vigilant and keep their personal details confidential’ when using online platforms.

“Your credentials on all financial platforms are continuously at risk. There have been many attempts by scammers to defraud taxpayers. Taxpayers are reminded that SARS will never ask them to use any link to engage with it. All eFiling users must protect their login details and use only registered tax practitioners.” – SAnews.gov.za
