Taxes in South Africa are primarily collected by the South African Revenue Service (SARS). The primary purpose is to enforce tax regulations and generate tax revenue for the state. To accomplish this, SARS has introduced effective tax payment systems, such as online banking and SARS eFiling, that enable taxpayers to submit their tax payments electronically. These systems aim to streamline the payment procedure, lessen the possibility of human error, and improve the reliability of tax data. Facilitating tax payments through SARS ensures the government has the funds to provide vital services and encourage economic growth.

Log in to your SARS eFiling account and look at the “Outstanding Returns” section to determine when your payment is due.
