If you were auto-assessed, you would have been notified per SMS in July – so there would be no need for you to call us or visit a branch.
The SMS directs you to eFiling or the SARS MobiApp to either ‘Accept’ or ‘Edit’ the return.
We auto-assess based on data we receive from employers, financial institutions, medical schemes, retirement annuity fund administrators and other 3rd party data providers.
If you accept the results of your auto-assessment and if there is a refund due to you, the refund will be paid by SARS. A negative amount indicates that a refund is due to you.
If you owe SARS money, you can make a payment on eFiling, via EFT or the SARS MobiApp by the specified due date on your Notice of Assessment. See our 2020 Filing Season webpage for more information.
