SARS has introduced eDNA as a security measure in order to minimise the risk of fraudulent transactions as well as to safeguard taxpayer information. This entails that your fingerprints will be captured and authenticated when visiting a SARS branch for certain services.
The town of Bethlehem is in the east of the Free State province, situated on the Liebenberg’s River along a fertile valley just south of the Rooiberg Mountains on the N5 highway. The Bethlehem branch enjoys the safety of the Maluti mountains surrounding the town, where staff are fluent in Southern Sotho (Sesotho), isiZulu and Afrikaans. This new branch is user-friendly and accommodates both the elderly and people with disabilities. The busiest times at this branch are between 10h00 and 14h00 from Monday until Thursday, while Fridays are full of activity between 09h00 and 16h00. There is limited parking available for taxpayers at the branch, and additional free parking is on hand opposite the branch (next to Volkswagen).
