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.

You may also fax or email the documents to the branches. See our list of SARS branches to locate the branch nearest to you. Please phone the branch first to confirm your documentation and their email address/fax number before submitting or visiting the branch.

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.
