** If you are not yet registered you would only be required to visit a SARS branch once to verify your identity, address and bank details.

** All additional tax registration can be performed from eFiling without having to visit a branch again.
** Kindly note that the ‘IT77 registration form for Individuals’ was discontinued and that the only way to register is to visit a SARS branch where the friendly staff will register you on our system.

Important :
** Make sure you have all the supporting documents (relevant material) needed.
** We won’t be able to register you unless all the documents are received.
** Once you’ve been registered and given your tax number you can then register for eFiling, which is a free and convenient way of interacting with SARS.
** All you need is a computer and internet access. As a registered eFiler you will then be able to submit your tax return online, make payments to SARS etc.
