4 April 2023 – A reminder that the SARS Third Party Data Annual Submissions opened on 1 April 2024 and will close on 31 May 2024. Third parties must submit accurate and complete data for the entire period of 1 March 2023 – 29 February 2024.
Third Parties (banks, medical schemes, fund administrators, among others.) must, by law, send data to SARS via a return. They must include information such as:
- savings account interest,
- medical scheme contributions,
- withholding tax on interest,
- dividends tax,
- IT3 data submissions: IT3(b), IT3(c), IT3(e), IT3(s),
- medical scheme contributions, and insurance payments.
Third Party data providers can submit data to SARS using these three electronic options:
- eFiling (via a data submission form with a limited volume)
- Connect: Direct® (Unlimited)
- Secured File Gateway [HTTPS] (for files smaller than 10MB)
To ensure a successful submission to use and activate these channels, you must be registered with eFiling.
For more information, see the Third Party Data submission landing page.
