SARS announced that selected service centres will open on Saturdays to assist taxpayers with filing their Income Tax returns ahead of the filing season. This initiative, effective 29 July 2026, is designed to provide greater flexibility for individuals who may be unable to visit during regular weekday hours. The extended hours will be available at strategically chosen branches, allowing more convenient access to filing services, enquiries, and assistance with documentation. By offering Saturday operations, SARS aims to reduce bottlenecks, minimize waiting times, and accommodate the diverse schedules of taxpayers across the country. This move also reflects the agency’s commitment to improving customer service, ensuring that citizens can meet their tax obligations efficiently and without undue hardship. The public is encouraged to check the official SARS website or contact their nearest branch to confirm the specific Saturday openings and any required appointments, thereby streamlining the overall filing process and supporting a smoother tax season experience for all.
