SARS Auto
Assessment – July 2020
In
August, SARS will assess a significant number of taxpayers automatically. If you
accept the outcome, you do not have to complete a return because SARS would have
done that for you.
If
you are auto-assessed, you will be notified per SMS in August The SMS will direct you to
eFiling or the SARS MobiApp to either “Accept” or “Edit” the
return.
Some
taxpayers may receive communication prior to 1 August 2020 indicating why they
will not be auto-assessed, or alerting them to their 2019 return submission
findings. This will assist them to submit the outstanding returns. Please adhere
to the communication and submit any outstanding returns as soon as possible, to
avoid delays in filing your 2020 return, and to ensure a seamless experience
this year.
SARS auto-assess based on the data we receive from employers, financial institutions,
medical schemes, retirement annuity fund administrators and other 3rd party data
providers.
If
you accept the results of your auto-assessment and if there is a refund due to
you, the refund will be paid by SARS.
