10 July 2025 – An auto assessment, which is part of SARS’ commitment to make the fulfilment of your tax obligation as seamless as possible, is based on the data we receive from employers, financial institutions, medical schemes, retirement fund administrators, and other third-party data providers. We are sending the notices in batches between 7 and 20 July 2025.
Wait for your auto assessment notice through SMS or email:
- If you agree with your auto-assessment, there is nothing further to be done. If SARS owes you a refund, you will receive the money in your bank account within 72 hours.
- If you don’t agree, file your Income Tax return through eFiling or the MobiApp. No need to wait until 21 July 2025, you can do it immediately.
