Tax Season 2026 – What You Need To Know
Tax season is officially open, and SARS has outlined important steps every taxpayer should understand – here’s what you need to know at a glance:
📌 Auto-Assessments: Some taxpayers will receive a pre-populated assessment from SARS. If everything is correct, no action may be required—but always review carefully.
📌 Who must file? You may need to submit a return if you:
- Earn income from more than one source
- Are a provisional taxpayer
- Have additional income (rent, investments, freelance work, etc.)
- Did not receive an auto-assessment
📌 Filing methods: Accurate and timely filing helps you avoid penalties, prevent delays in refunds and stay compliant. Returns can be submitted via:
- SARS eFiling
- The SARS MobiApp
- Assisted filing channels (where applicable)
