The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has announced scheduled maintenance across its digital platforms to ensure systems remain available, robust, and secure as part of their modernising vision.

If you are planning to submit documents, file returns, or interact with Customs and eFiling, please take note of the following downtime windows:

• Friday, 9 October 2026: 17h00 to 20h30
• Saturday, 10 October 2026: 14h00 to 22h00

During these times, users may experience intermittent service interruptions across SARS eFiling, Tax, and Customs Digital Platforms.

What This Means for Your Business

Routine maintenance helps build a smarter, more reliable digital infrastructure, but temporary outages can disrupt last-minute filings. We recommend completing any urgent submissions ahead of these scheduled maintenance windows to avoid delays.
