General Headlines Warning for taxpayers about the 2026 filing season As the 23 October tax filing deadline gets closer, taxpayers are being warned to watch out for online scams and fake SARS eFiling websites. Many people are rushing to submit their tax returns, and scammers are using this pressure to trick them. Cybersecurity company Kaspersky has found fake websites and emails pretending to be from SARS. These scams often ask people to enter personal details such as usernames, passwords, phone numbers, or email login information. Some emails include attachments with tax-related names and use urgent messages like "refund due" or "SARS letter of demand" to encourage people to open them. According to Kaspersky, scammers rely on the fact that taxpayers expect to receive tax-related messages during filing season. The company also warns that artificial intelligence (AI) is making these scams harder to identify, making it more important than ever for taxpayers to verify messages before responding.(BusinessTech) Markets and Investments

Property and Real Estates  YW Capital, RMB complete R2.25bn Pepkor logistics property deal YW Capital and RMB have completed a R2.25 billion property deal involving Pepkor's logistics facilities through YW Capital's real estate platform, IronOak.
