How to register for eFiling
As a registered taxpayer you can register to use the eFiling service which allows you to file a return, make payments, and request a tax clearance certificate, as well as many other services.
To register as an eFiler, go to the SARS eFiling website, www.sarsefiling.co.za, and click on the “Register” button.
You will be guided through a six-step process, which will take between five and 10 minutes to complete.
You can register as an individual taxpayer, a tax practitioner or organisation.
Once you have registered as an eFiler, you are flagged as an electronic filer with SARS.
Returns are made available for completion and submission on your eFiling profile.
You may register additional users and organisations within SARS eFiling.
