The SA Revenue Service (Sars) says it has paid up to R2.4bn in refunds to taxpayers in a bid to mitigate SA's struggling economy during the national lockdown.
“Sars is fully aware of the devastating effect on the lives of our people, the risk to businesses and an already struggling economy. Consequently, we are committed to maintain the essential services of Sars to mitigate these unfavourable conditions,” it said in a statement.
The refunds, said Sars, comprised payments to large business amounting to R1.1bn and payments to small, medium and micro enterprises to the sum of R1.3bn. Sars has made available the online channels MobiApp, eFiling and e@syFile, e-mail and the Sars Contact Centre to fulfil its obligations.
