The South African Revenue Service (Sars) has announced July 15, 2024 as the start of the eFiling tax season for provisional and non-provisional taxpayers who are required to file in a tax-return form.
Auto-assessments for an expanded pool of taxpayers will run from July 1 to 14, 2024.
Sars said taxpayers whose contact details, including email address and cellphone number as well as banking details that have changed must update these details on eFiling or on the SARS MobiApp to facilitate an easy and seamless tax efiling season.
The update of this information goes a long way to preventing fraud and identity theft, it said.
Sars commissioner Edward Kieswetter has assured taxpayers that Sars remains committed to its goal of making the eFiling tax season for standard taxpayers an invisible process that requires little or no action from the taxpayer, due to the use of big data, machine-learning and algorithms.
