Tax filing season: what you should do
Tax filing season: what you should do Tax filing season opens on 7 July and runs until 20 October. What does this mean for you? If you receive a taxable income – whether you earn a monthly salary, commission or fees – you must be tax-compliant. The South African Revenue Service (Sars) automatically assesses some taxpayers' income tax returns. If you are among those, you will receive a notification from Sars between 7 and 20 July, and will not have to file a tax return. You can use the Sars MobiApp or eFiling to verify your auto-assessment and make sure all your information is accurate. If you're happy with it, you don't have to do anything further, but if you do not agree with the assessment, you must submit a tax return in the normal way. If you do not receive an auto-assessment notification, you are required to file a tax return before 20 October. If there have been any changes to your address, contact or banking details, or if your job, salary, allowance, benefits or conditions of employment have changed in the past year, it is important to update your information with Sars. Make sure you are registered on eFiling to submit your income tax online, or download the Sars MobiApp. No need to visit a branch! If you need personal assistance from a Sars official at you local branch, you will need to book an appointment to avoid long queues. For more information, visit and click on the 'Individuals' tab, or WhatsApp 'Hi' to 0800 117 277.

Ramathuba pleased with business relations established with China
Limpopo premier Dr Phophi Ramathuba has shared the outcomes of her recent visit to China, expressing satisfaction with the investment ties formed during the 116th International Infrastructure Investment and Construction Forum (IIICF) and Exhibition, held in Macao from June 8 to 15. Ramathuba was accompanied by MEC for economic development, environment and tourism, Tshitereke Matibe; the MEC for public works, roads and infrastructure, Ernest Rachoene; and the Fetakgomo Tubatse Local Municipality mayor, Cllr Edwin Maila. The IIICF is a globally recognised platform aimed at promoting international co-operation in infrastructure development, facilitating cross-border investment, and showcasing innovations in the construction and infrastructure sectors. This year's forum attracted senior government officials, business leaders, development financiers and global investors from more than 70 countries. 'Limpopo used the opportunity to position itself as a key investment destination in South Africa, with a particular focus on the Musina-Makhado and Fetakgomo-Tubatse Special Economic Zones (SEZs),' Ramathuba said. 'These SEZs are strategically located and rich in mineral and agricultural resources, offering strong potential for infrastructure development, beneficiation and sustainable industrialisation.' She said Limpopo's participation in the forum marked a significant milestone, adding that she was encouraged by the level of interest shown in the province's development plans.

This marks the beginning of a new investment wave into Limpopo,' she said. Ramathuba added that the province looks forward to deepening relationships with the investors and institutions met in China. 'Follow-up engagements are being scheduled to further explore opportunities in infrastructure, tourism, energy, the digital economy and skills development – all geared towards driving Limpopo's economic transformation and job creation agenda.'
