Falling behind on tax returns can happen to anyone. Life gets busy, businesses grow, records get misplaced, and suddenly you’re faced with outstanding tax returns and rising anxiety. The good news is this: it’s never too late to get back on track. At ExtraStar Solutions, we help South Africans submit outstanding tax returns correctly, confidently, and in full compliance with SARS.

Outstanding tax returns don’t just create stress — they can lead to penalties, interest, blocked refunds, and increased risk of SARS enforcement action. Taking action early is the smartest step you can take to protect your finances and restore peace of mind.

Why Submitting Outstanding Returns Matters

SARS requires all registered taxpayers to submit returns, even if no income was earned during certain periods. Ignoring outstanding returns can result in administrative penalties and prevent you from accessing tax clearance certificates or refunds.

By submitting overdue returns, you:

• Stop further penalties from accumulating
• Restore your tax compliance status
• Regain access to refunds and clearance certificates
• Reduce the risk of audits and legal action

ExtraStar Solutions helps clients understand exactly what is outstanding and how to resolve it efficiently.

Get Your Records in Order

The first step to submitting outstanding tax returns is gathering accurate financial information. This may include income records, expense documents, bank statements, IRP5s, VAT reports, and payroll information.

Many clients worry about missing documents — but you don’t have to do this alone. ExtraStar Solutions assists in reconstructing records where necessary and ensuring all information aligns with SARS requirements.

Submit Correctly to Avoid Further Issues

Submitting overdue returns incorrectly can make matters worse. Errors, omissions, or estimated figures may trigger SARS verifications or audits.

At ExtraStar Solutions, we:

• Review and correct past submissions
• Ensure accurate tax calculations
• Submit outstanding returns through the correct SARS channels
• Communicate with SARS where required

Our goal is not just submission, but proper compliance.

Manage Penalties and Interest

Outstanding returns often come with penalties and interest. The good news is that in certain cases, penalties can be reduced or resolved through proper engagement with SARS.

ExtraStar Solutions helps clients understand their penalty position and explores available options to minimise unnecessary costs — always within the law.
