To check your SARS (South African Revenue Service) penalties, you can follow these steps:
- Log in to your SARS eFiling account: Visit the SARS eFiling website (https://www.sarsefiling.co.za) and enter your username and password to log in. If you don’t have an account, you will need to register for one.
- Access your tax profile: Once logged in, navigate to your tax profile. This section usually provides an overview of your tax-related information and history.
- Look for penalty information: Within your tax profile, search for a section specifically related to penalties. It may be labeled as “Penalties” or “Compliance.” Click on that section to view any penalties imposed on your account.
- Review penalty details: In the penalties section, you should be able to see a breakdown of the penalties you have incurred. This will include the type of penalty, the amount, the tax period it relates to, and any relevant dates.
- Understand penalty reasons: Each penalty should have an associated reason or explanation. Make sure to review the details provided to understand the specific circumstances that led to the penalty.
If you are unable to find the penalty information or have difficulty navigating the SARS eFiling platform, it is recommended to contact the SARS call center or visit a local SARS branch for assistance.
