1 July 2019 - e@syFile version 6.9.6 - Due to the implementation of the new eFiling System on 01 July 2019, it became necessary for e@syFile to implement a new URL for effective information/data transfer between SARS eFiling and the e@syFile system. URL is the Uniform Resource Locator, and is used to specify addresses on the World Wide Web. A URL is also the fundamental network identification for any resource connected to the web (e.g., hypertext pages, images, and sound files). The protocol specifies how information from the link is transferred.
In order to implement the updated URL a new version (6.9.6) was required and implemented onto e@syFile on 01 July. Kindly note that no functionality on e@syFile was affected.
