Individual taxpayers have until Wednesday to file their personal income tax returns before tax season closes.

The deadline applies to non-provisional taxpayers and for those provisional taxpayers who opt to file at a branch.

Provisional taxpayers using eFiling have until 31 January 2019 to file.

Taxpayers are encouraged to heed the 12-hour call and opt for the eFiling channel to submit their returns.

eFiling has experienced 99.7% uptime during Tax Season.

It is geared to receive the large volumes of returns that can easily spike to 150 000 submissions daily when Tax Season hits its last day.

The South African Revenue Services (SARS) Contact Centre is available from 08:00 to 18:00 to assist taxpayers to file online as well as to field any taxpayer queries on personal income tax returns.

Help-You-eFile, a function on eFiling that connects taxpayers to a qualified SARS tax agent is also available from 08:00 to 18:00.
