SARS intensifies enforcement against late tax filers, with penalties starting at R250.

The South African Revenue Service (SARS) is intensifying its enforcement against late tax filers, with individual tax returns due by October 23, unless you're a provisional taxpayer. Monthly penalties start at R250 and accumulate until the return is filed. In 2021 and 2022, SARS penalized 2.25 million taxpayers, totaling R4.26 billion. The agency's digital systems are ready for a surge in last-minute filings.
