eFiling Benefits

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

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?
