If I have an outstanding amount to pay, will it affect the new year tax returns?

There will be a penalty and interest charged on the outstanding amount if it is past its due payment date.
This will be carried forward and and will continue to accrue interest until it is settled.
You can request a Statement of Account in order to see the amount that is outstanding.

If you file a current year Tax Return and have a refund due to you, this won't be paid by SARS until you settle the outstanding amount.
