🚨 The start of Tax season’s been especially wild — here’s why things might feel slower or more confusing than usual with auto assessments having STARTED🚨:
✅ **System Overload & Bad Timing:** SARS’ auto-assessments hit on the same days as big deadlines, crashing eFiling.
✅ **Timeouts & Errors:** Blank screens, endless loading, random glitches — making it hard to finalize your return.
✅ **Confusing Auto-Assessments:** SARS may tell you your tax is “done” even if key deductions are missing. Always check with us first!
✅ **Missed Deductions = Higher Tax Bills:** Auto-assessments often skip retirement annuities, medicals, and donations — leading to higher tax or penalties.
✅ **Tight Deadlines:** We have very short windows to fix errors before assessments become final.
✅ **Browser Roulette:** eFiling works differently on each browser, but SARS doesn’t say which one to use.
✅ **Pressure & Delays:** Auto-assessments force us to drop other tasks, causing delays in planned filings.
