The release is planned for 18 September 2026. More detail will be shared soon.
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.
