How do I download my taxpayer information?

To download your taxpayer information in South Africa, including your tax certificate, tax returns, and other relevant documents, you can follow these steps:

  1. Visit the SARS eFiling website: Open your preferred web browser and go to the official SARS eFiling website at www.sarsefiling.co.za.
  2. Log in to your eFiling profile: Enter your username and password to log in to your SARS eFiling profile. If you don’t have an account, you will need to register for one.
  3. Access your taxpayer information: Once you are logged in, navigate to the relevant section or menu option where your taxpayer information is stored. Look for options like “Tax Documents,” “Tax History,” or similar labels. The exact location may vary based on any updates or changes made by SARS.
  4. Select the documents to download: Within the taxpayer information section, you should see a list of available documents. Select the documents you want to download, such as your tax certificate or tax returns.
  5. Download the documents: Look for a download or export option next to each document you have selected. Click on the appropriate button or link to initiate the download. The document will likely be downloaded to your computer or device as a PDF file.
  6. Save and access the downloaded documents: Once the download is complete, choose a location on your computer or device to save the downloaded documents. You can then access and view the documents using a PDF reader or any compatible software.

It’s important to note that the above instructions are based on the SARS eFiling system as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021. If there have been any significant changes or updates to the process, it’s recommended to visit the official SARS website or contact their customer service for the most up-to-date information.
