How To Obtain Shared Access of your SARS eFiling profile?

How do I obtain SARS eFiling shared access?

Full shared access means that you, as well as your registered tax practitioner, can both work on your SARS eFiling profile. To request it, log in to SARS eFiling, go to Services and select the option to share your information with your tax practitioner, then choose full access and submit the request. You will receive a notification to approve the request, and once accepted your practitioner can view your tax types and file returns on your behalf. TaxAssist can walk you through each step and confirm the access is working correctly.
