Worth knowing

An auto-assessment you ignore becomes your assessment

SARS issued auto-assessments between 1 and 12 July 2026. If yours missed a deduction, a retirement annuity contribution or a travel claim, that money is simply gone unless the return is amended and resubmitted inside the filing window.

Every return includes

Schedules behind the numbers.

IRP5, IT3, medical aid and retirement annuity certificates captured properly, so a SARS verification does not turn into a dispute.

01

The assessment checked.

We read the ITA34 before you accept it, and object where SARS has it wrong, rather than leaving you to find out months later.

Your profile in order.

Public officer and registered representative appointed on eFiling, which is the step that quietly blocks most companies from filing anything at all.

The 2026 filing season

A different window for each taxpayer

Auto-assessments

Issued 1 to 12 July 2026.

Individuals

13 July to 23 October 2026, if you are not a provisional taxpayer.

Provisional taxpayers

13 July 2026 to 22 January 2027.

Trusts

19 September 2026 to 22 January 2027.

Companies

An ITR14 is due within 12 months of your financial year end, so your date follows your year end rather than the season.

Common questions

I have years outstanding. How bad is it?

It is common and it is fixable. SARS charges an administrative penalty for every month a return stays outstanding, charged per return, so several open years compound quickly. The sooner it is filed the smaller it gets, and penalties can often be reduced once you are compliant again.

What is an auto-assessment?

SARS pre-fills a return from data it already holds and issues an assessment without you filing. If you agree, you do nothing. If it has missed a deduction you are entitled to, you have to amend and resubmit inside the filing window or you lose the difference.

When is my company ITR14 due?

Within 12 months of the end of your financial year. A company with a February year end files by the following February. It does not follow the individual filing season dates at all.

Do I need to be a provisional taxpayer?

If you earn income that is not taxed at source, such as rental, freelance or business income above the threshold, generally yes. It means two IRP6 estimates a year, at the end of August and the end of February, and a longer window to file the annual return.
