SARS message: Deceased Employee’s Tax Certificate Issue Period
SARS has requested that employers take note of their message published on their website relating to the issuing of tax certificates in respect of deceased employees. Due to the fact that a deceased employee’s tax period end on the deceased date, a tax certificate MUST be issued within 14 days after the date of death. The reasoning behind this, is to enable the executor of the estate to finalise the estate. One of the duties of an executor is to complete the tax returns of the deceased up to date of death. Message by SARS follows below:
