Understanding Auto Assessment
Auto Assessment is an automatic tax assessment of a personal income tax return in which SARS uses pre-filed information to calculate and issue an assessment without the need for taxpayers to complete or submit a tax return. SARS uses information from employers, banks, medical schemes, retirement funds, and insurers.
Auto Assessment notice will advise if you paid too much or too little tax in the previous financial year.
For more information, see the How does Auto-Assessment work webpage.
