Enhancements to reduce Efiling Fraud

SARS has discovered fraudulent activities involving users trying to register for the eFiling platform. This has prompted SARS to launch an initiative to stop these illegal activities.

To use the eFiling service, a taxpayer must have a valid email address and cell phone number. This information will be used as the contact details for eFiling security. It will be used to send a one-time-pin (OTP) to verify the eFiler."

Should the SARS system identify that the email address or cell phone number has already been provided by an eFiler and is actively in use (maximum usage reached), an error message will be displayed on the user’s screen. The taxpayer will be required to insert alternate contact details to continue or book an appointment with the SARS Branch for assistance.
