SARS urged taxpayers to use digital platforms amid ongoing strike

The South African Revenue Service is urging taxpayers to use its digital platforms as workers continue strike action.

It threatens to affect the tax collection season, which began recently.

Commissioner Edward Kieswetter says thousands of taxpayers have already filed using online services.

“At this stage, we’d encourage all taxpayers to use our digital platforms. This filing season we’ve had 700,000 taxpayers who’ve filed their returns on our additional platforms. A significant portion of our work is already taking place online and seamlessly.”

SARS will continue to honour virtual appointments in the absence of its striking workers, it said on Thursday, calling on all taxpayers to utilise digital platforms to file tax-related documents.

“In the event that a virtual booking is not honoured, please note that the branch will follow up to do the necessary service recovery,” the revenue service said in a statement.
