How to Register your Company for SARS eFiling

To create your company profile you will not need to have a separate profile for it anymore. SARS has now created a shared platform.

To set up a new eFiling profile for a company you will need to ensure that you have all your valid documents ready to use during the process. 
You will need the following:

1. Name of the company
2. The address and contact number 
3. The SARS tax number 
4. The registration number 
5. The company's banking details 
6. The year end of the company

STEP 1: Get started by logging in

Go to www.sarsefiling.co.za.


Type in your unique username and password - you will have decided on these when you registered for eFiling.

If you previously used a tax practitioner or tax firm to file your company tax returns, you must request your SARS eFiling login details from them - they belong to you. See how to get back control of your SARS eFiling profile
