What does the future of taxation in South Africa look like? And who gets to be part of the conversation?

At SAIT, we believe the people who work with South Africa's tax system every day deserve a seat at the table.

That is why moments like the 13th Annual Tax Indaba matter.

During his keynote address, SARS Commissioner Dr Johnstone Makhubu shared his vision for a modern tax administration built on trust, better services, smarter technology and stronger relationships with tax practitioners.

For the SAIT, this message speaks directly to what we stand for.

Our strength lies in the professionals who dedicate their expertise to helping individuals and businesses navigate their tax responsibilities.

Their experiences matter. Their concerns matter. And their voices deserve to be heard.

As South Africa's leading tax professional body, SAIT is proud to create opportunities for these voices to reach important decision-makers, including SARS.

Because improving our tax system is not only about policies and technology. It is also about the people who rely on it, the professionals who work within it and the partnerships that can make it better.

Through the Tax Indaba and our continued engagement with SARS, we are helping to keep the tax profession at the heart of conversations that matter to South Africa.

What changes would you like to see in South Africa's tax administration?

SARS has published an official media release reflecting on the Commissioner's address at our 13th Annual Tax Indaba.

Petrol prices, the cost of living and the state of the economy are on all of our minds, and they’re shaping one big question ahead of the 2026 Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement on 21 October: what could this mean for the tax we all pay?

Speaking to Daily Investor, SAIT CEO Prof Keith Engel looks at how government’s commitment to avoiding tax increases can hold up as growth slows and borrowing needs rise.

At SAIT, we believe everyone deserves to understand the decisions that affect their pocket, not just the experts. That’s why we’re starting the conversation now, before the numbers are announced, so households, small businesses and the tax practitioners who support them can feel prepared rather than surprised.

SAIT has received a report of foreign tax credits not prepopulating on beneficiaries’ ITR12 returns following the submission of a trust’s IT3(t) return.

Although the foreign dividends populated correctly on the beneficiary’s ITR12, the related foreign tax credits did not. The relevant fields were also greyed out, preventing manual capture.

SAIT is seeking clarification from SARS on how to resolve this issue, as the missing credits may affect beneficiaries’ tax liabilities.
