Non-provisional taxpayers who still need to submit their 2026 income tax returns have until 23 October 2026. Businesses should help employees and owner-managers confirm their personal tax obligations, supporting documents and SARS profile details before the deadline.
SARS has extended the deadline for certain provisional taxpayers who received an automatic assessment to request a reduced or additional assessment. Businesses and sole proprietors should use the extra time to review their tax information, rather than delay action.
SARS has introduced several changes to the 2026 trust income-tax return process. Trustees and tax representatives should review their records now, rather than waiting until the 22 January 2027 filing deadline.
