1 July 2022 – SARS has made significant changes to the 2022 Tax Filing Season. This year, over 3 million taxpayers, have been auto-assessed by SARS and will not have to file a tax return if they are satisfied with the outcome. If you are in the auto-assessment group, you will receive a notification from SARS during the first few days of July. Taxpayers are urged to not visit SARS branches during the first week of July. Those who still prefer to visit SARS branches are reminded to please make a booking on our appointment system or by sending an SMS to 47277 with the word Booking (Space) ID number/Passport number/ Asylum Seeker number. Tax Practitioners are urged to strictly use their channel when booking an appointment. Taxpayers can also use the SMS number 47277 to request a tax reference number, find out if you need to submit a return and get a statement of account.
