The South Africa Revenue Service (SARS) has announced that 18 of tax branches would not be in operation on Tuesday as its staff embark on a wage strike.<\/P>
In a statement, SARS said: \u201c(We) apologise for any inconvenience caused but due to Industrial Action taking place across SARS, we are experiencing delays in servicing our taxpayers.\u201d<\/P>
The revenue collector urged the public to continue to make use of its digital services during this time.<\/P>
