Personal income tax, business tax, and value-added tax are only some of the many types of taxes collected by SARS (VAT). As a general rule, taxpayers have until the final day of each month to submit their monthly payments to SARS. SARS provides numerous alternatives for making payments, including online banking, direct deposit, and in-person transactions at participating financial institutions. Taxpayers should make every effort to pay their bills on time and submit complete data to avoid incurring penalties and interest. South African Revenue Service SARS is dedicated to serving taxpayers in a timely and professional manner.
