Tax Ombud is urging South Africans to prepare early for tax season

Tax season is approaching and the Office of the Tax Ombud is urging South Africans to prepare early. The Ombud says delays, penalties and stress often come from late filing or not knowing your rights with Sars. They advise taxpayers to be accurate and proactive and note independent help is available if disputes come up. We spoke to  Russel Mamabolo, Specialist Communications and Outreach at the Office of the Tax Ombuds.
