Description

SARS

  • 22 May 2025 – SARS has observed that some employers have not yet completed their PAYE reconciliation using the updated version of e@syFile™. SARS has temporarily re-enabled access to the previous version of the system. This measure is intended to support employers who have not yet transitioned to the new version, enabling them to meet the submission deadline of 31 May 2025.

Employers are encouraged to finalise their submissions as soon as possible to ensure compliance.

  • 23 May 2025 – Tax Administration Act, 2011: Public Notice 6217 as published in Government Gazette 52712 of 23 May 2025 relating to returns to be submitted by a person in terms of section 25 of the Tax Administration Act, 2011, read with section 66(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1962
  • 23 May 2025 – SARS invites you to tender for the goods and/or services as detailed in RFP01/2025. The conditions in the SARS Chain Management Policy and the Regulatory Framework which governs tenders at SARS are applicable to this tender process
  • 26 May 2025 – The state provides state warehouses for the safekeeping of goods. These are managed by Customs. The purpose of this list of unentered goods is to notify the importer, exporter and any other person that has interest in the goods that the goods have been taken up into the State warehouse and if they remain unentered they will be disposed in accordance with the provisions of the Customs & Excise Act.

See the latest Customs Weekly List of Unentered Goods here.

  • 29 May 2025 – Achieving our Vision of a smart, modern SARS with unquestionable integrity that is trusted and admired is of paramount importance. Pivotal to the delivery of our vision are our digital platforms and technology infrastructure. To provide clarity and certainty, make it easy for taxpayers and traders to comply with their obligations and building public trust and confidence, our technology assets must demonstrate the highest levels of availability, robustness, and security.

In accordance with our Vision and Strategic Objectives, which include modernising our systems to provide Digital and Streamlined online services, we are hard at work ensuring that our digital platforms and technology infrastructure are available, robust, and secure, by performing regular upgrades, enhancements, and maintenance. Considering the above, the SARS AI Assistant will be undergoing maintenance scheduled for Thursday, 29 May 2025 from 19h00 to 19h45. During this time, you may experience intermittent interruptions accessing AI Assistant from our SARS Website and SARS MobiApp.
