SARS takes tax services on the road with Mobile Units visiting Free State and Northern Cape communities for the 2025 season

As part of efforts to enhance accessibility and taxpayer support during the 2025 tax season, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) has deployed its Mobile Tax Units (MTUs) to communities across the Free State and Northern Cape provinces.

Running from July through November 2025, this initiative is designed to bring essential tax services closer to citizens, especially in remote or underserved areas with limited access to fixed SARS branches.



The MTUs serve as temporary mobile offices where residents can receive assistance with filing income tax returns, submitting supporting documents, resolving compliance issues, updating personal details, and accessing various other tax-related services.

This move forms part of SARS’ broader commitment to improving voluntary compliance by removing logistical barriers and ensuring taxpayers can meet their obligations with ease.

Whether you’re a salaried worker, small business owner, pensioner, or seasonal worker, this initiative is especially beneficial if you’ve struggled to meet deadlines or navigate digital platforms.

SARS is encouraging all eligible taxpayers in these provinces to take advantage of this service when the mobile units visit their local municipalities.

Below are areas to be visited, time, dates, and contact details in Free State and Northern Cape provinces as provided by SARS via its website.

What Services Will Be Provided?

SARS Mobile Tax Units offer almost the same services as regular branches, including:

  • Assistance with ITR12 income tax returns (for employees, freelancers, or provisional taxpayers)

  • Updating personal details such as contact information, banking details, or addresses

  • Help registering for eFiling or the SARS MobiApp

  • Assistance with SARS letters or audit queries

  • Auto-assessment resolution for those flagged by the system

  • Support for provisional taxpayers, especially small businesses or self-employed individuals

What you need to register as a taxpayer

  •  Certified copy of your Identity
  •    Document/Passport/Driver’s
  •    Licence
  •  Original Bank Statement
  •    (stamped by the bank)
  •  Original Proof of Address

What you need to submit an Income Tax Return

  • IRP5/IT3(a) certificates
  • IT3(b) certificates in respect of Investment Income
  • Medical Aid certificates and receipts as confirmation of payment
  • Retirement Annuity Fund certificates
  • Travel logbook (receipt of a travel allowance)
  • Any other documentation relating to income received or deductions you want to claim
  • Proof of Identification (identity document/passport/driver’s licence)
  • If married in community of property – spouse’s identity number

Why This Matters

For millions of South Africans, especially in rural and semi-urban areas, traveling to a SARS branch can be time-consuming, expensive, or even impossible. The Mobile Tax Units reduce these barriers by ensuring that everyone has access to professional support during tax season. It’s not only about filing on time—it’s about empowering citizens to remain compliant, avoid penalties, and understand their rights and responsibilities.

This initiative also speaks to SARS’s broader mission of tax inclusivity, digital innovation, and improving voluntary compliance by “meeting taxpayers where they are.”

What to Do Next

  1. Check SARS’s official site for updated visit schedules in your province.

  2. Prepare your documents early so you don’t miss your local MTU.

  3. Arrive early at the venue on the designated day.

  4. Download the SARS MobiApp if possible, to streamline your experience.

  5. Encourage others in your community—especially elders and small business owners—to take advantage of this opportunity.
