The vendor will upgrade the central tax and customs IT system for the government department which employs more than 12,000 people and collects more than $50bn in taxes every year. More than 70 companies initially responded to the tender when it was issued last year, and Accenture beat two other short-listed suppliers, one of which was local company GijimaAST.
Accenture is a long-term services partner of SARS, and has previously modernized its customer support processes and underpinning technology.
