SARS now allows taxpayers, registered representatives and tax practitioners to request the unmerging of incorrectly merged eFiling cases online. Businesses should review their tax profiles after any correction.
SARS completed scheduled digital-platform maintenance on 6 and 7 November 2026. SMEs should use the notice as a prompt to review filing continuity, payment evidence and internal tax-system controls.
Companies with a June financial year-end may have until 31 December 2026 to submit their ITR14 returns. Starting the tax pack early can help finance teams resolve missing records, reconcile balances and reduce last-minute filing risk.
A simple rolling cash-flow forecast can help South African SMEs identify shortfalls early, reserve money for tax obligations and reduce avoidable financing costs.
