The South African Revenue Service (SARS) will extend its operating hours at all branch offices on Thursday 25 and Friday 26 February 2010. Branch offices will open at 07h30 and close at 17h00 to facilitate taxpayers in meeting their payment deadlines.
Taxpayers are reminded that manual VAT returns and payments are due for submission on Thursday 25 February 2010 and provisional returns and payments on Friday 26 February 2010.
SARS urges taxpayers not to wait until the last day to make payments but to visit their nearest SARS branch office as soon as possible. Taxpayers are also encouraged to make use of the alternative payment methods such electronic payments (internet banking), eFiling as well as making the payment at your nearest bank so as to avoid the anticipated increase in taxpayer numbers at branch offices.
For branch office related queries please call the SARS contact centre on 0800 00 7277 or browse our http://website www.sars.gov.za.
