Why link now

Three reasons to link today


Skip the admin

Tax certificates from employers, banks, medical aids and retirement funds get pulled in automatically. No hunting through emails.

File with confidence

If SARS has it, we have it. Less chance of missing a number, less chance of an audit query later.

Be ready before filing opens

SARS can take up to 48 hours to verify the link. Setting it up early means everything is ready when tax season starts.

How it works

Three steps and only a minute to start.

Linking your profile is similar to giving access to a tax practitioner. Your eFiling profile stays yours, but TaxTim is added as the tax practitioner linked to your profile.

Step 1

Enter your details

Add your tax number, ID number, and your name exactly as it appears on your ID.

Step 2

Approve the request with SARS

SARS sends you a one-time PIN by SMS or email. Only you can approve the link.

Step 3

We handle the verification

SARS verifies the connection in the background, usually within 48 hours. We’ll email you once it’s complete.

Remember:
Your eFiling profile stays yours

  • TaxTim uses SARS’s official shared-access system used by registered tax practitioners.
  • You stay fully in control of your eFiling profile, and you can remove TaxTim’s access anytime.
  • The connection is secured with an OTP from SARS that only you can approve.
FAQ's

Everything you might be wondering, answered.

You're giving us shared access - the same kind a tax practitioner gets - so we can read your tax data and submit your return on your behalf. We can't change your password, lock you out, or access anything outside your tax profile.
No. Your eFiling profile is still yours. You can log into SARS eFiling directly whenever you want. Linking TaxTim doesn't replace your access - it sits alongside it.
Yes. TaxTim's team includes SARS-registered tax practitioners. The link happens through SARS's own shared-access system, with an OTP from SARS confirming it's really you. It's the standard way tax practitioners help South Africans with their returns.
Shared access works per tax type - so one practitioner can handle your individual tax return while another handles your provisional tax, for example. Remember, you can easily remove or swap anyone at any time, including us.
Occasionally, yes - usually when your personal details and contact details (cell number and email) on SARS eFiling are out of date. That's the most common cause of a delay, and it's a quick fix.
You can remove TaxTim's access anytime, directly from your SARS eFiling profile. It takes under two minutes. We've written a step-by-step guide for the day you ever want it.
