SARS warns of possible digital-service interruptions during Sunday upgrades
Maintenance is scheduled for 08:00-12:00 SAST on 15 November. SARS says eFiling, Tax and Customs platforms may be interrupted intermittently.
Taxpayers and traders using SARS digital services may encounter intermittent interruptions during maintenance scheduled for 08:00 to 12:00 SAST on Sunday, 15 November.
The SARS notice dated 13 November identifies eFiling and its Tax and Customs Digital Platforms as potentially affected.
A maintenance window, not a confirmed outage
The notice describes possible intermittent interruptions. It does not say every service will be unavailable for the full four hours, and this report does not establish that an interruption has begun.
The scheduled end time is not a guarantee of uninterrupted access immediately afterwards. The notice does not announce a filing-deadline extension.
Anyone planning an online transaction should check the current SARS notice for changes and allow for the possibility of interrupted access.
