It is an easy and time saving process which is quick processing, anywhere-anytime filing, accurate data in return, no long queues and no personal interface.
Taxpayers can register for efiling for whatever tax returns they need with SARS with their own password and username. After an easy registering process they can download the necessary forms and complete it online. The completed forms can firstly be saved if you would like to make alterations to the return, or can be filed directly. They can then print the returns for personal filing although it will always be available on the SARS system. -
