SARS Discontinues Printing and Posting of Letters: What Taxpayers Need to Know

The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has officially discontinued the printing and posting of all system-generated letters, effective 31 May 2025.

From this date forward, all SARS correspondence will be delivered electronically via eFiling and other digital platforms.

SARS Enhances Enforcement

The tax authority is enhancing its enforcement capabilities.

  • SARS is expected to start levying administrative penalties on non-compliant trusts for the non-submission of annual income tax returns and IT3(t) returns.
  • SARS is making it clear that trustees bear personal legal liability for their trusts’ tax obligations and will hold all trustees jointly and severally liable for non-compliance.
  • In line with its ambitious collection targets, SARS is planning on hiring 1,500 new recruits over the medium term to bolster its enforcement efforts.
