Income Tax Filing Season 2022
SARS has announced that the 2022 Personal Income Tax Filing Season commences on 1 July this year.
Filing dates are as follows:
- 1 July to 24 October 2022 for Non-Provisional Taxpayers
- 1 July 2022 to 23 January 2023 for Provisional Taxpayers
A significant number of individual taxpayers will be auto-assessed again this year, and this process will start in July. There is no need to call SARS, as they will send you an SMS if you are selected to be auto-assessed. According to SARS, the process is much easier this year – if you agree with their auto-assessment then there is no need to “accept” the assessment. If you disagree with the outcome of the auto-assessment you can still file a tax return on eFiling or the SARS MobiApp.
SARS has announced that between the period of 4 June 2022 until the opening of Filing Season, there is a possibility that the prepopulated data reflecting within your Personal Income Tax or Provisional Tax returns requested via eFiling, the SARS Mobi application or via a SARS Branch Office during this period, will pre-populate but may not be comprehensive until Filing Season is officially opened to the public.
