As the 2026 Filing Season officially opened, many taxpayers experienced delays and service disruptions when trying to access SARS eFiling.

With thousands of taxpayers logging in at the same time to view their Auto Assessments, submit returns, or check their tax status, the system has come under heavy demand, resulting in intermittent connectivity issues.

The good news is that these disruptions are temporary.

If you're unable to log in or your eFiling session is slow, there's no need to panic. Avoid repeatedly refreshing the page or submitting the same information multiple times, as this may cause further delays.

At Tax A Sured, we recommend:
✔ Waiting a while before trying again.
✔ Keeping an eye on official SARS updates.
✔ Reviewing your Auto Assessment carefully before accepting it.
✔ Seeking professional assistance if you're unsure about your tax return.

Remember, filing season has only just begun, and most individual taxpayers have until 23 October 2026 to submit their returns.

💰 Did You Make a Two-Pot Retirement Withdrawal? Read This Before You File Your Tax Return.

Many South Africans believe that once tax has been deducted from their Two-Pot Retirement withdrawal, there is nothing more to worry about.

But that's not always the case.

Your withdrawal is still included in your total taxable income for the year, which means it could affect your final SARS assessment. Depending on your overall income, you could receive a refund, break even, or even have additional tax to pay.

Before you submit your tax return, it's important to check that your retirement fund certificate is correct and understand how your withdrawal may impact your tax position.

Our latest Five Cents article explains everything you need to know in simple terms, including why some taxpayers may end up owing SARS more than they expected.

If you're planning to travel to or from South Africa, there's an important new SARS rule you need to know about.

From 1 July 2026, most travellers must complete an online Traveller Declaration before they travel. This applies whether you're travelling by air, road, sea, or rail, and includes South African citizens, residents, and foreign visitors.

The good news is that this is not a new tax or travel permit.

The declaration simply replaces much of the paperwork traditionally completed at Customs. It allows you to declare goods, cash, and other items before you arrive at or leave a South African border.

If you're carrying only your normal personal belongings, there's usually nothing extra to declare. However, if you're travelling with high-value goods, large amounts of cash, or other items that require Customs attention, you'll need to include them in your online declaration.

Don't panic if you couldn't complete the declaration before travelling. SARS has confirmed that travellers won't be refused entry or departure for this reason. Customs officials and self-service terminals will be available to assist where necessary.

At Tax A Sured (Pty) Ltd, we encourage travellers to familiarise themselves with the new process before their next trip. A few minutes of preparation can help make your journey through Customs quicker and easier.

📌 𝘼𝙪𝙩𝙤 𝘼𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙪𝙚𝙙 between 1 and 12 July. If you qualify, SARS will send you an SMS or email informing you that your return has already been calculated using information received from your employer, bank, medical aid, retirement fund, and other institutions.

But remember — an Auto Assessment does not always mean everything is correct. Always review your information carefully before accepting it.

📌 𝙁𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨
• Individual taxpayers have until 23 October 2026 to file or amend their tax returns.
• Provisional taxpayers and trusts have until 22 January 2027.

From 1 July 2026, anyone entering or leaving South Africa by air, road, rail, or sea must complete an online traveller declaration before travelling. This can be done using the SARS Traveller Declaration Portal or the SATMS app.

📌 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨
SARS continues to expand its online services. Taxpayers can now receive notices, check Auto Assessment statuses, and even upload supporting documents through WhatsApp. The SARS AI assistant, Lwazi, is also available to help answer common questions.

📌 𝘽𝙚𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙢𝙨
Tax season is prime time for fraudsters. SARS will never ask for your password, OTP, or banking details via SMS, WhatsApp, or email.

SARS is taking a tougher stance on trusts with outstanding returns, with penalties ranging from 𝗥𝟮𝟱𝟬 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝟭𝟲,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 for non-compliance.

If you're planning to log into SARS eFiling to check whether you've been selected for an Auto Assessment, you may notice something new this year — the SARS Waiting Room.

Why the change?
Every year, millions of taxpayers log in at the same time to check their Auto Assessment status as Filing Season approaches. This sudden spike in activity can place significant pressure on the eFiling platform and slow things down for everyone.

To improve the experience, SARS has introduced a Limited Functionality Webpage called the "Waiting Room" for the 2026 Filing Season.

Here's what it means in simple terms:
✔ You can still securely access your Auto Assessment information.
✔ You'll be able to view your assessment results in read-only mode.
✔ The system helps reduce congestion on the main eFiling platform during busy periods.
✔ Once traffic reduces, you'll regain access to the full eFiling functionality.

The Waiting Room is only available to individual taxpayers using eFiling during peak Auto Assessment periods and forms part of SARS' broader move towards more efficient digital services.

SARS is also continuing with its phased filing approach this year, meaning taxpayers are encouraged to wait for their SMS or email notification before attempting to file or visit a SARS branch.

At Tax A Sured (Pty) Ltd, we know that new systems and changes can sometimes create confusion for taxpayers. If you're unsure whether you've been Auto Assessed, need help reviewing your assessment, or want to ensure everything is correct before accepting it, our team is here to help.

Tax season doesn't have to be stressful when you have the right support.

⚠️ 𝗦𝗔𝗥𝗦 𝗦𝗮𝘆𝘀: "𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻" 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻✋

SARS has officially announced that the 2026 Filing Season will once again follow a phased approach, meaning not everyone needs to submit their tax return at the same time.

The first phase runs from 𝟭 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝟭𝟮 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 and is reserved for taxpayers who qualify for Auto Assessment. During this period, SARS expects to issue approximately 6 million Auto Assessments.

If you are selected for Auto Assessment, SARS will notify you via SMS or email. Your assessment will already have been prepared using information received from your employer, banks, medical aid, retirement funds, and other third parties.

𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙣 𝘼𝙪𝙩𝙤 𝘼𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙮 12 𝙅𝙪𝙡𝙮, 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙣 13 𝙅𝙪𝙡𝙮 2026. 𝙉𝙤𝙣-𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙩𝙖𝙭𝙥𝙖𝙮𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 23 𝙊𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙗𝙚𝙧 2026 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙨, 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙩𝙖𝙭𝙥𝙖𝙮𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 22 𝙅𝙖𝙣𝙪𝙖𝙧𝙮 2027.

SARS is encouraging taxpayers not to rush to branches during the Auto Assessment period and to rather make use of digital channels such as eFiling, the SARS MobiApp, and WhatsApp services.

Most importantly, even if you receive an Auto Assessment, don't simply accept it without checking the information carefully. Incorrect income, missing deductions, or outdated information could affect your refund or result in additional tax.

At Tax A Sured (Pty) Ltd, we can help you review your Auto Assessment, identify possible errors, and ensure your tax affairs remain fully compliant.

🚨𝗦𝗔𝗥𝗦 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗨𝗽 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀

As the 2026 tax filing season approaches, SARS has announced several updates to make tax returns easier, faster, and more accurate for taxpayers. One of the most significant changes is the introduction of a new Declaration Alert Questionnaire.

So, what does this mean for you?
In the past, if SARS identified something on your tax return that required clarification, your return could be sent straight to verification, often delaying refunds and final assessments.

Under the new process, SARS may first allow you to explain certain transactions before initiating a verification process. If a potential risk is identified, a short questionnaire will be presented after your assessment has been issued.

Taxpayers will have three options:�✔ Complete the questionnaire immediately�✔ Save it and complete it later (within 3 days)�✔ Decline the questionnaire

However, if the questionnaire is not completed or is declined, SARS may route the return for verification, which could result in delays.

SARS has also introduced several other enhancements for the 2026 Filing Season, including:�• Improved Auto Assessments�• New WhatsApp services for assessments and document uploads�• Simplified ITR12 tax returns�• Enhanced residency and medical aid validation checks�• Improved eFiling functionality and navigation.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲: 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆, 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘁𝗮𝘅𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀.

At Tax A Sured (Pty) Ltd, we encourage taxpayers not to ignore these new alerts. Responding promptly and ensuring your return is completed correctly could help avoid unnecessary verification delays and speed up refunds.

Tax season is becoming more digital and data-driven than ever before. The key is staying informed and getting professional assistance when needed.

💰 Are You Missing Out on a SARS Refund?

Every year, thousands of South Africans submit their tax returns without realising they may be entitled to deductions, credits, or refunds that could reduce their tax liability.

The reality is that many taxpayers simply accept what SARS calculates without checking whether all their information has been captured correctly.

Common items that are often overlooked include:
✔ Retirement annuity contributions
✔ Medical aid expenses
✔ Additional medical costs
✔ Commission-related expenses
✔ Home office claims (where applicable)
✔ Travel allowances
✔ Certain business-related expenses

At the same time, SARS is becoming increasingly sophisticated in how it verifies taxpayer information. Incorrect submissions, missing information, or unsupported claims can result in delays, verification requests, or additional tax assessments.

This means that tax season is no longer just about filing a return — it's about ensuring your return is accurate and complete.

Many taxpayers are surprised to learn that a small oversight can potentially mean:
• A missed refund
• Paying more tax than necessary
• Delays in receiving money owed to you
• Unnecessary SARS queries

At A Sured TaxWorks (Pty) Ltd, our focus is helping individual taxpayers navigate SARS with confidence.

Whether you are a salaried employee, freelancer, commission earner, contractor, or retiree, our team helps ensure your tax affairs are handled accurately, professionally, and efficiently.

Before accepting an Auto Assessment or submitting your tax return, it may be worth asking one simple question:
"Have I claimed everything I'm entitled to?"
The answer could make a bigger difference than you think.
