Taxpayers are warned of the latest scam where fraudsters (either via SMS or email) make claims that amounts are owed to SARS. These communications are often titled ‘Settlement notification’ or ‘Final demand’, with requests that a link is clicked to facilitate payment. Should you wish to verify whether any amounts are indeed due to SARS, it is advisable that you verify via e-Filing as opposed to clicking any links. Follow this link for an example of this scam.

With the 2026 tax return filing season slowly approaching, make sure you have your finger on the pulse of whether you are required to submit a return and if so, when you need to do it by.

Tax Directives Legislative Changes and System Enhancements

SARS recently implemented enhancements to the tax directive functionality to correct certain errors and give effect to legislative changes. Whilst we welcome the updates, there do seem to be a few errors currently experienced.

Some tax practitioners and employers have been unable to request directives following the update. It seems that this can potentially be resolved by activating the tax directive tax type again.

In addition, there have been a few complaints that it is not possible to view historical tax directives issued. Directives denied, with reasons thereto can apparently still be viewed.

These issues have been referred to SARS and we await feedback.
