eFiling is a free, simple & secure way of interacting with SARS from the comfort and convenience of your home or office.

This free service allows taxpayers, tax practitioners and businesses to register free of charge and submit returns and declarations, make payments and perform a number of other interactions with SARS in a secure online environment.

** Taxpayers registered for eFiling can engage with SARS online for the submission of returns and declarations and payments in respect of taxes, duties, levies and contributions.
** The eFiling service is on a par with international standards, being comparable with services offered in the United States (US), Australia, Singapore, Ireland, Chile and France.

eFiling Benefits :
** No more waiting in queues, finding parking or worrying about office hours. Once registered, eFilers can submit returns, view their tax status and make payments to SARS electronically 24 hours a day!
** eFilers are also given more time to make their submissions and payments. Individual taxpayers and trusts have more time to submit their returns which means longer to pay any additional income tax. And if you’re a business paying VAT, you get until the last business day of the month to pay it over (rather than the 25th of the month for manual filers)!
** You also have a full history of all submissions, payments and electronic correspondence available to you at the click of a button through the innovative reporting tool.
** eFilers can also receive SMS and email notifications to remind you when submissions are due.
** The simplicity of the process results in fewer errors and creates a quicker processing cycle for individuals and businesses.
** Isn’t it time you joined more than 2.7 million individual taxpayers and 350 000 businesses who are enjoying all the ease, convenience and peace-of-mind that eFiling offers-
