FISA also received a communication from SARS about systems upgrades and downtime.
Dear Valued Stakeholder
Achieving our Vision 2024 of a smart, modern SARS with unquestionable integrity that is trusted and admired is of paramount importance. Pivotal to the delivery of our vision are our digital platforms and technology infrastructure. To provide clarity and certainty, make it easy for taxpayers and traders to comply with their obligations and building public trust and confidence, our technology assets must demonstrate the highest levels of availability, robustness, and security.
In accordance with our Vision and Strategic Objectives, which include modernising our systems to provide Digital and Streamlined online services, we are hard at work ensuring that our digital platforms and technology infrastructure are available, robust, and secure, by performing regular upgrades, enhancements, and maintenance.
Considering the above, SARS Digital platform upgrades are scheduled for Friday, 6 September 2024 from 20h00 to 08h00 on Monday, 9 September 2024.
During this time, you may experience intermittent service interruption on our eFiling, Tax and Customs Digital Platforms.
Stakeholders are therefore urged to submit priority Goods Declarations (bills of entry) and Road Manifest by Friday, 6 September 2024 @ 14h00.
