Trust Tax Dispute Resolution Enhancements
An essential part of the delivery of the SARS Vision 2024 is the organisation’s digital platforms and technology infrastructure. As such, on 20 April 2024, SARS successfully released the system enhancements to improve its efficiency and effectiveness in resolving Trust tax disputes. These enhancements will aid in providing clarity and certainty and make it easy for taxpayers and traders to comply with their obligations.
Automated Dispute Submission via eFiling
From April 2024, Trust taxpayers can now electronically submit dispute documentation through a fully guided process on eFiling. This applies to the following transactions
- Request for Reasons
- Request for Remission (RFR)
- Notice of Objection
- Notice of Appeal
- Suspension of Payment (SOP) – available from 17 February 2025
For more information see the Guide to submit a dispute via eFiling.
Note: Trusts that submitted any of the processes mentioned above before 20 April 2024 should still conclude their dispute through the manual process.
