    SARS assists 12 000 taxpayers

    The South African Revenue Services (SARS) on Thursday announced that nearly 12 000 taxpayers have been assisted to make their tax submissions since operating hours were extended to Saturdays at selected branches around the country from 30 September.

    A total of 11 877 taxpayers have been attended to and 8 838 tax returns were filed on the three Saturdays from 30 September.

    SARS said it will prioritise income tax queries on Saturdays to help taxpayers comply with the tax season deadline of Friday, 24 November 2017, which is six weeks away.

    “Hours have been extended at selected branches in an effort to reduce queues at Sars branches on week days and provide taxpayers with more convenience.

    “Extended hours at selected SARS branches run between 08:00 and 13:00 on Saturdays, and will continue until 18 November 2017. The arrangement commenced on 30 September 2017,” SARS said in a statement.

    Taxpayers can also submit their Income Tax Returns (ITR12) online via SARS eFiling at www.sarsefiling.co.za and have access to the Help-You-eFile service which allows the taxpayer to interact with a SARS agent telephonically while completing their tax return.
