What does linking mean

What does linking your eFiling profile mean for you


Same as a tax practitioner


It's 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.

Import what's on your eFiling


This allows us to pull through the tax information SARS already has for you when it's time to file. Your IRP5, your medical aid certificate, your retirement annuity contribution, and your bank interest all flow straight into your tax return.
What changes when you link

What happens when you link

Filing a tax return the old way means digging through emails for your IRP5. Hunting down medical aid certificates. Trying to remember which retirement annuity you contributed to last year. It's the kind of admin that turns a 20-minute job into a weekend.

When you link your eFiling profile to TaxTim, all the information and documents SARS already has land in your tax return automatically. Every IRP5, medical aid certificate, retirement annuity contribution and bank investment certificate your employer, bank, or fund has already submitted flows straight into the right places. You go from filling in a form to checking a draft.

Without linking
  • Search old emails for your IRP5
  • Hunt down medical aid certificates
  • Re-type numbers manually
  • Hope nothing gets missed
With linking
  • SARS information, like your IRP5, medical aid, retirement annuity, and bank interest, all flows in automatically
  • Your tax data appears in the right places
  • Numbers are pre-filled and ready
  • You go from filling in a form to checking a draft

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. 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.
