Adding Your Company Tax Number: A Step-by-Step Guide
In the past, adding a Company Tax Number to your eFiling profile involved a straightforward process. However, recent updates necessitate a slight adjustment in approach. Here’s how you can navigate the process effectively:
- Accessing Your eFiling Profile: Log in to your eFiling profile and navigate to the “Organisations” tab, then proceed to “Tax Types”.
- Managing Tax Types: Click on “Manage Tax Types” to view the available tax types associated with your profile. Check the box to “Activate” the Organisation Tax Type.
- Resolving Errors: If you encounter an error message indicating the absence of a Registered Representative on record, follow the steps outlined by SARS to rectify the issue. This typically involves registering a representative through SARS’ online portal and submitting the required documentation.
