Are you a first-time tax payer?

You need to register as a tax payer in order to get a tax number. Please complete the IT 77 form, then visit your nearest SARS branch and hand it in together with:

• A certified copy of your Identification Document or Passport (drivers licences are not accepted);
• Your bank details: either a cancelled cheque or a certified/original copy of your account statement or an original letter from the bank confirming your bank details;
• Income details for the last 3 years e.g. copies of IRP5 etc;
• Proof of residence e.g. your rates/electricity bill.

Once you have been registered and given your tax number, you can then register on www.sarsefiling.co.za as a tax payer and fill out your returns online.
