Sars extends tax filing deadline to 15 February
The South African Revenue Service (Sars) has extended the filing deadline for provisional taxpayers.
Sars commissioner Edward Kieswetter confirmed in a statement on Thursday that the original date of 29 January has been pushed back to 15 February.
"The decision to extend the Filing season was taken with due consideration of the traumatic effects being experienced by taxpayers who have lost loved ones, as well as businesses who have lost staff, during the devastating second wave of Covid-19," said Kieswetter.
Kieswetter urged all these taxpayers to comply with their legal obligations.
"As it is vital that all taxpayers remain compliant. Failure to comply with their legal obligations will result in administrative penalties being levied."
