18 September 2026 – SARS invites diesel-refund users, diesel sellers, fuel suppliers, contractors, intermediaries, and tax practitioners to a webinar on 18 September 2026 on the release of the Diesel Refund Registration Programme.

See the presentation that will be delivered in the webinar here.
The release is planned for 18 September 2026. It introduces the Diesel User Dashboard capability and completes the end-to-end registration solution. The webinar will explain the changes, who is affected, and the steps stakeholders should take to prepare.
Key Changes
- Diesel Refund registration is moving from a VAT-linked model to a dedicated Diesel Refund Registration System on eFiling.
- Existing diesel-refund users must register on the new solution. Registration is not automatic.
- Diesel sellers must register so that diesel-refund users can create and manage seller relationships electronically.
- A dedicated dashboard will provide visibility of applications, registrations, and seller relationships.
What You Need to Do
- Diesel-refund users/buyers: Prepare to register through eFiling; ensure your SARS legal-entity profile is valid and confirmed; gather business-activity information; and be ready to create seller relationships.
- Diesel seller: Register as a diesel seller and ensure your details are accurate so users can establish and validate relationships with you.
What the Webinar Will Cover
- The purpose and phased implementation of the Diesel Refund Registration Programme.
- Registration requirements for diesel-refund users and diesel sellers.
- How electronic diesel seller and user relationships work together.
- Steps to prepare, including legal-entity profile readiness and required business information.
- The dedicated dashboard, available support, and a live question-and-answer session.
