13 May 2026 – Beware of fake emails or SMS claiming you owe SARS money, often titled “Settlement Notification” or “Final Demand,” which urge payment via links or to fraudulent bank accounts. SARS never sends links other than SARS links in SMS/emails for payments, never asks for banking details directly, and does not accept direct deposits into personal accounts. 
How to Protect Yourself:
  • Do not click links: Avoid clicking links in emails or attachments (especially .htm or .html files).
  • Verify on eFiling: Always check your tax status directly on the official SARS eFiling website.
  • Use Proper Payment Channels: Use the pre-registered bank beneficiary on your bank app for payments.
  • Report Phishing: Forward suspicious emails to phishing@sars.gov.za.
