Dear Valued Client,
SARS has announced the official dates for the 2025 tax filing season, and we’d like to ensure you are well prepared. Please take note of the following important deadlines:
📅Key Tax Filing Dates:
1. Auto-Assessments
SARS will begin issuing auto-assessment notices between 7 July 2025 and 20 July 2025.
2. Individual Taxpayers (Non-Provisional)
Tax returns must be submitted between 21 July 2025 and 20 October 2025.
3. Individual Taxpayers (Provisional)
Provisional taxpayers can submit returns from 21 July 2025 to 19 January 2026.
4. Trusts
Trusts must submit returns between 21 July 2025 and 19 January 2026.
⚠️ Note: The IT3(t) return for trusts is due by 30 September 2025.
🔍Auto-Assessment – Do You Qualify?
You may not be required to submit a tax return if all of the following criteria are met:
- Your total gross income for the year is R500,000 or less,
- You received this income from only one employer during the year,
- PAYE (Pay-As-You-Earn) was correctly deducted from your income,
- You have no other sources of income (such as rental income, capital gains, foreign income, travel allowances, or fringe benefits).
Please note: Even if you qualify, we recommend reviewing the auto assessment issued by SARS carefully before accepting it. If anything is missing or incorrect, you may still need to submit a return.
We strongly encourage you to begin gathering all relevant supporting documents for the tax year ended 28 February 2025. Early preparation will help ensure a smooth and accurate submission process.
Should you have any questions or require assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your Account Manager.
Thank you for being a part of the RTA family!
Kind regards,
The RTA Team
Your prosperity is our priority
