    • Small Enterprise Development Agency;

SARS and partner stakeholders recognise the role played by women entrepreneurs in the informal trade sector towards job creation, income generation, and the reduction of wealth inequalities. SARS
acknowledges that some of the small, medium and micro enterprise (SMME) traders, women and PWDs, require clarity and awareness regarding:

  • The Traveller Management System and cross-border clearance process.

This initiative is in line with SARS’s strategic objectives of providing taxpayers and traders with clarity and certainty, as well as making it easy for them to comply with their tax obligations. In addition,
