The Revenue Service says by the tax season deadline on the 20th of this month, it had received a remarkable new record number of over four-million returns for individuals and trusts.

This exceeded last year’s filing by some 800 000, or 26%.

The services views the breakthrough as a major step towards improved tax compliance in the country.

Sars has thanked the thousands of taxpayers who patiently stood in long queues at branch offices.

Others who sought help from the call centre, and the many thousands who filed an electronic tax return through eFiling.
