27 June 2025 – The Registration, Amendment and Verification form (RAV01) on eFiling has been enhanced to make it easier for taxpayers to interact with SARS.
The following changes are introduced:
- Enhancement of Banking Details.
- Reinstatement of RSA Tax Residency.
Enhancement of Banking Details
To enhance user experience with the Registration, Amendments, and Verification Form (RAV01) form and the ITR12 tax return, taxpayers will be presented with a list of their verified banking details available to SARS. Taxpayers must select this information when updating their bank-account details rather than manually capturing them.
Reinstatement of residency
The Registration, Amendments, and Verification Form (RAV01) form will enable a taxpayer who ceased to be an RSA tax resident in the past to indicate the reinstated date on the “Reinstatement Date of RSA Tax Residency” line item, see our Cease to be an SA Tax Resident and re-instatement of SA Tax Resident webpage.
The updated guide was published: GEN-REG-01-G04 – How to complete the Registration Amendments and Verification Form (RAV01) – External Guide.
