SARS sends a warning to anyone who filed a tax return this year

• SARS is warning taxpayers who filed a tax return this year to be cautious of AI-generated scam notices, particularly those claiming high refunds.
• The warning comes as SARS has identified a new wave of scams using AI to generate realistic-looking correspondence, making it difficult for taxpayers to distinguish between official and scam notices.
• Taxpayers are advised to delete and block suspicious emails, verify SARS correspondence through official channels, and familiarize themselves with various scam examples to avoid falling victim to these phishing scams.
