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, Northglen News reports
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.
With digital filing still available, SARS is expecting an estimated 1 744 535 of the outstanding returns to still be submitted through this channel.
Taxpayers with outstanding returns can download the SARS MobiApp from the Playstore or Appstore and easily perform the following actions:
1. Register for SARS eFiling,
2. Submit a return,
3. Use the phone camera to upload supporting documents,
4. Retrieve their username or reset their password and
5. View their Notice of Assessment (ITA34), among other services.
6. Request a call-back to get the assistance of a SARS tax agent.
Should taxpayers visit a branch with a personal income tax return filing query, they will be assisted with self-filing via the MobiApp or eFiling platforms. Taxpayers with smartphones will be required to download the SARS MobiApp before they can commence filing.
