“Efiling has become a very popular way of submitting or completing tax returns in South Africa” says Raimond Lamprecht of Lamprecht & Co Accounts. 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.

Payments can also be done through efiling on the specific date the payment must reach  SARS and the efilier will get a receipt with their records.


You do not need to attach any annexures or evidence to your returns as SARS will let you know afterwards if they need any additional information.
