Commissioner of the South African Revenue Service (SARS), Edward Kieswetter, is expected to hold a media briefing to provide an update on the Tax Filing Season 2024.
The briefing is expected to be held on Tuesday, 16 July.
“Today marks the continuation of the Tax Filing Season 2024 for provisional and non-provisional taxpayers, who were not selected for Auto Assessments (AA), which commenced on 1 July 2024.
“The AA accommodated approximately 4.8 million taxpayers this year, compared to about 3.8 million taxpayers last year. SARS has also increased the number of digital platforms available to taxpayers to interact with SARS to facilitate a smooth and seamless filing season,” SARS said in a statement.
SARS said it has made progress thus far.
“The Commissioner has expressed his enthusiasm at it being the fourth year of SARS’s commitment to its five-year strategic plan, initiated in 2020, and is proud to acknowledge the progress the organisation has made thus far.
“Part of SARS’s strategic plan is to cultivate a culture of voluntary tax compliance, underpinned by nine strategic objectives that guides the work we do,” SARS said. – SAnews.gov.za
