FISA received the following communication from the South African Revenue Service (SARS):
“Achieving our Vision 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 build 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 maintenance is scheduled for:
Friday, 14 February 2025 from 18h00 to 20h00,
Saturday, 15 February 2025 from 03h00 to 05h00.
During this time, you may experience intermittent service interruption on our eFiling, Tax and Customs Digital Platforms.”
