The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has announced Filing Season dates for the 2026 Tax Year!
Understanding the key filing dates and preparing early is paramount to staying compliant.
Key Filing Season Dates:
- Auto Assessments will run from 1 to 12 July 2026.
- Non-provisional taxpayers will have from 13 July to 23 October 2026 to file their returns.
- Provisional taxpayers and Trusts will have until 22 January 2027 to fulfil their filing obligations and avoid unnecessary penalties.
SARS will once again issue auto-assessments to qualifying taxpayers. If you agree with your auto-assessment, no further action is required. However, if you wish to amend the assessment, you will need to submit a tax return within the applicable Filing Season deadlines.
