Frequently Asked Questions
What are administrative non-compliance penalties?
SARS levies recurring monthly penalties (R250 to R16,000 per month per unfiled return) for outstanding tax returns.
Can SARS auto-estimate returns if I fail to file?
Yes. SARS can issue estimated assessments (Section 95) which are legally binding until replaced by valid actual returns.
