If you need to pay an admin penalty to the South African Revenue Service (SARS), you can follow these general steps:
- Obtain the necessary information: Make sure you have the correct information regarding the admin penalty. This includes the penalty amount, the reason for the penalty, and any reference numbers or codes associated with it.
- Determine the payment method: SARS offers multiple payment options, so you need to decide which method you prefer. The available methods may include electronic funds transfer (EFT), payment at a bank, or online payment through SARS eFiling.
- Electronic funds transfer (EFT): If you choose to pay via EFT, you will need to initiate the transfer from your bank account to SARS. Ensure that you have the correct SARS bank account details, including the account number, branch code, and reference number to use when making the payment.
- Payment at a bank: If you prefer to make the payment in person at a bank, you will need to visit a branch of the relevant bank. Inform the bank teller that you want to make a payment to SARS, provide the necessary information and pay the penalty amount in cash or by any other acceptable means of payment.
- Online payment through SARS eFiling: If you have access to SARS eFiling, you can log in to your account and make the payment online. Follow the instructions provided on the SARS eFiling platform to pay the admin penalty.
- Retain proof of payment: After making the payment, ensure that you keep a copy of the proof of payment, such as a receipt or confirmation, for your records.
It’s important to note that the specific steps and procedures may vary depending on the nature of the penalty and any recent updates or changes made by SARS.
