HAVE YOU RECEIVED AN AUTO ASSESSMENT?
Between 1 July and 7 July 2023, taxpayers will be notified by SMS or email if they were selected to receive an auto-assessment. Should you receive the SMS, the next step for you would be to review the auto-assessment on the SARS MobiApp or eFiling.
• If you agree with the Auto-Assessment, you do not have to do anything.
• If a refund is due, you can expect it within approximately seventy-two (72) hours, provided your banking details with SARS are correct.
• If you owe SARS, please make the payment before the due date that is shown on your Notice of Assessment (ITA34) to avoid interest charged on outstanding debt.
• You can make payment via eFiling or SARS MobiApp; alternatively see our payment options.
• Do not agree with the Auto Assessment? Auto assessed taxpayers have until 23 October 2023 to amend and file their return on eFiling or the SARS MobiApp if they do not agree with the auto assessment received.
HOW IS AUTO ASSESSMENT DIFFERENT THIS YEAR (2023) FROM LAST YEAR (2022)?
Last year you had 40 days to file a return if you were not happy with your auto-assessment, but this year we are giving you until the due date of 23 October 2023. If an auto-assessment has been issued after 23 October 2023 the 40 business days will start on the date of the notice of the assessment.
For more information, see How does Auto-Assessment work.
LET US HELP YOU PREPARE FOR A SMOOTH FILING SEASON
Only individuals who were Auto Assessed will receive the SMS or email. If you did not receive a notification from SARS that you were auto assessed; you must submit your Personal Income Tax Return (ITR12).
You can access the tax return via eFiling or the SARS MobiApp from 7 July 2023 at 20:00, complete it, and file it, using eFiling or the SARS MobiApp. Taxpayers who are unable to file their returns online must first book an appointment to visit a branch. The deadline to submit your tax return is 23 October 2023.
