With an expected increase in the number of taxpayers filing income tax returns, SARS branches opening on Saturdays will exclusively be focusing on assisting taxpayers with the completion of their income tax returns during this period. Taxpayers are advised that branches will operate normal hours during the week. SARS has already received over 4, 7 million income tax returns.
