2 October 2026 – The unmerge function was introduced in April 2024 but you had to request it via the Contact Centre or a Branch.
The unmerge function is now available on eFiling. This function will allow taxpayers, registered representatives, and registered tax practitioners to request an unmerge of incorrectly merged cases via eFiling.
The unmerge option can be used only if cases have been previously merged or auto merged. The taxpayer can view the current entity record with all associated tax products linked to the entity and all previously merged requests performed.
The go-green principle will apply, and relevant stakeholders will be informed via a rejection or approval letter.
See the Guide to Unmerge Entity Records and the FAQs on how to unmerge tax profiles.
Important reminder: Please review your registered particulars as soon as possible. Following the profile correction, some information may have reverted to a previous state and may require updating to keep SARS records remain accurate and current.
In other words, both the merging and unmerging of tax profiles are now possible on eFiling.
For more information, visit the Merging of tax profiles webpage.
