Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Who MUST submit an Income Tax Return (ITR12)?
A.You must submit an ITR12 if you: earn more than the tax threshold for the year; have more than one employer or income source; run a business as a sole proprietor or freelancer; receive a travel allowance or use a company car; earned rental income; or want to claim deductions for medical aid or retirement annuities.
Q.Who DOES NOT need to submit an Income Tax Return?
A.You do not need to submit a return if ALL of the following apply: your total salary for the year before tax is below R500,000; you only have ONE employer; you have no other sources of income (like rental, business, or freelance income); and you have no deductions to claim (like medical aid, retirement annuities, or travel expenses).
Q.What should I do if SARS has NOT issued me an Auto Assessment?
A.If you have not received an SMS or email from SARS regarding an Auto Assessment, and you meet the criteria to file a return, you must manually compile and submit your ITR12 tax return via eFiling before the deadline. Do not wait for an auto-assessment that may never come, as you could incur late submission penalties. Use our wizard above to find the correct package to submit your return.
Q.What should I do if I HAVE been Auto Assessed?
A.Do not blindly accept the Auto Assessment! SARS calculates this based on third-party data (banks, medical aids, employers) but often misses allowable deductions like home office expenses, travel logbooks, or donations. We highly recommend having a tax practitioner review your auto-assessment before you accept it. If we find missing deductions, we will file an amended return to maximize your refund.
Q.When is the SARS deadline for Individual Tax Returns?
A.Tax season for individuals typically opens in July. Non-provisional taxpayers usually have until late October to submit via eFiling. Provisional taxpayers (those with business, rental, or freelance income) generally have until late January of the following year. Missing deadlines results in severe administrative penalties.
