SARS REQUEST: ALLOWING EMPLOYEES TO ACCESS EFILING

SARS has issued a request to employers to allow their employees to access eFiling through the employer’s systems.

Please refer to the request below for more details.

Dear Stakeholders

ENABLE YOUR STAFF TO ACCESS SARS ENFILING ON YOUR SYSTEMS

SARS is striving to make it easy for taxpayers to comply with their obligations. As a result, we are automatically assessing a growing number of individual taxpayers. However, some may not have this benefit or, for various reasons, may need access to eFiling to validate the auto-assessments.

SARS has determined that many employees may not have access to the internet and that, given employers’ rules, some systems block access to SARS eFiling.

With this letter, SARS would like to ask you, as a large employer or representative of large employers, to allow your employees to access SARS eFiling through the employer’s systems. Some employees’ only point of intemet access is their work computer, so enabling your employees to transact with SARS online means that they do not have to take time off to visit a SARS branch.
SARS values your support and collaboration.

Sincerely
THE SOUTH AFRICAN REVENUE SERVICE
