Know your grounds: Why SARS must explain assessments

A taxpayer’s ability to challenge an assessment issued by the South African Revenue Service (SARS) stems from the fundamental rights to just administrative action and access to courts. These rights are protected and enforced through the provisions of the Tax Administration Act 28 of 2011 (TAA), which provide a structured framework for objections and appeals. A key component of this framework is Rule 6 of the rules promulgated under section 103 of the TAA, which empowers taxpayers to request reasons for an assessment prior to lodging an objection.
