Summary:
The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has published its Annual Report for the 2024/2025 period.
Article:
The SARS Annual Report for 2024/2025 shows that the organisation collected a record gross revenue of R2.303 trillion and a net revenue of R1.855 trillion, exceeding its revised estimate. This was achieved despite a weak economy, with strong collections driven by personal income tax and successful compliance programs that generated R304 billion. The report also highlights record-high refunds paid (R447.7 billion) and improved efficiency in administrative activities, such as debt collection and verifications, partly due to AI-driven risk profiling.
Contents of the Annual Report:
- Part 1. General information
- Part 2. Performance information
- Part 3. Governance & Risk Management
