Tax Statistics

The National Treasury and SARS jointly publish tax statistics annually. These aggregated statistics are compiled from SARS’s registers of taxpayers and from tax returns. These statistics complement other published social and economic data. The statistics are finding wide use within government, business, academia and non-governmental organisations.

We welcome feedback on the publications and their use. Please email us on taxstatistics@sars.gov.za.
