Summary

In pursuit of improving the tax ecosystem, one of SARS strategic objectives is to work with and through stakeholders, to ensure simplicity in their tax compliance responsibilities. Considering that, this webpage seeks to describe how taxpayers’ and organisations/entities can manage their submission of third-party data to SARS.

The webpage unpacks the overall process of user adoption regarding the use of eFiling, detailing the process involved during registration and activation of third-party data tax types (e.g. IT3). This is to ultimately ensure that SARS issues the taxpayer or organisation, their tax return (e.g IT3-01) during tax seasons for submission. Additionally, the guide unpacks how registered representatives can add administrators to their organisation eFiling profile, so that tax administrators can administer the tax responsibilities of their organisation/entity. Lastly the enrolment process is unpacked of the organisation and the tax administrators for the submission of the IT3 third-party data.

• Section 18A of the Income Tax Act, 1962, as amended – This covers all approved entities.

Consequently, the submission of IT3 third-party data or certificates bi-annually follows a legislative requirement. Taxpayers and Third Parties are required by law to submit third-party information or data to SARS.

Listed below are the Third-Party data types that should be submitted to SARS:

• IT3(b) – Income from Investments, Property Rights, Royalties and/or. Withholding Tax on Interest

• IT3(f) – Medical
• IT3(t) – Trust income, and
• WHD-Dividends Tax.
