The 2025 Filing Season for non-provisional individual taxpayers closes on Monday, 20 October 2025. GZ & Co. urges anyone who has not yet submitted or accepted their assessment to act immediately.
Who Must Act by 20 October
- Individuals who were not auto-assessed and earn above the tax threshold.
- Auto-assessed taxpayers whose pre-populated information is incomplete or incorrect and who therefore need to file a corrected return.
Provisional Taxpayers Have Longer
Provisional taxpayers and trusts have until 19 January 2026, but early preparation avoids the January rush and any last-minute directive or documentation delays.
Top Tips Before You File
- Check your details and banking information on eFiling are current.
- Declare all income sources, including rental, freelance and investment income.
- Keep supporting documents for at least five years in case of a SARS verification.
Missing the deadline triggers recurring administrative penalties and interest. If you are uncertain about your status, verify it on eFiling without delay.
