28 August 2026 – In this 15th edition of the SMME Connect, SARS reinforces its commitment to make tax compliance simpler and more accessible for small businesses through education and collaboration.
This edition tells the story of SARS meeting SMMEs where they are: in learning spaces, industry platforms and community engagements. It highlights recent taxpayer education initiatives, including International SMME Day 2026, the Manufacturing Indaba and SEZ workshops, where SARS engaged entrepreneurs, manufacturers and SMMEs on tax obligations, digital services, record keeping, Turnover Tax, Tax Compliance Status and voluntary compliance.
Through these engagements, SARS continues to bring tax administration services closer to taxpayers, support business formalisation and empower SMMEs with the knowledge needed to trade, grow and remain compliant. Every engagement is an opportunity to turn information into action and compliance into a business advantage.
