SARS makes official announcement regarding the 2025 Tax filing season
SARS has officially announced that the 2025 Tax Filing Season will commence on 7 July 2025, running until 20 October 2025 for non-provisional taxpayers and until 19 January 2026 for provisional taxpayers and trusts.
As in previous years, SARS will implement its auto assessment process for a segment of taxpayers whose affairs are less complex. From July 7 to 20, 2025, selected taxpayers will receive SMS and/or email notifications informing them that they have been automatically assessed. If the information provided in the auto-assessment is accurate, no further action is required from the taxpayer. However, if any information is incomplete or incorrect, taxpayers are encouraged to make the necessary adjustments via eFiling or the SARS MobiApp and submit their tax return by 20 October 2025.
