Frequently asked Questions
About representative registration
Why must I register a representative
Since April 2021 SARS requires all entities to have a registered representative in order for certain e-filing functions to be possible.
E-filing functions that require authorisation from a registered representative include submitting a VAT return, submitting an income tax return, performing new tax registrations, and moving a tax type from your tax profile to another profile.
What is a registered representative?
A registered representative is a designated person who SARS can consider to be your, or your business entity’s, appointed primary contact.

What responsibilities do the registered representative have?
An entity’s registered representative carries the responsibility of authorising SARS functions by submitting an OTP (one time pin) or verbally confirming approval from time to time. They are basically, from SARS’s point of view, the voice of the entity.
The representative is also therefore responsible for ensuring the channels of communication SARS uses to contact the entity remain open. If their email address, phone number or physical address changes they must update their representative registration.
The representative cannot be held liable for paying taxes they did not incur, but they will be the one SARS contacts in an effort to retrieve outstanding tax form the entity they represent.
Who may be a registered representative?
Who you may appoint as a representative for yourself or your entity depends on the type of entity in question:
For an individual – Parent/Guardian, Curator, Executor, Administrator
For a sole proprietor – Curator, Executor, Administrator
For a company – Public Officer, Liquidator, Administrator (this applies to state owned companies, private (pty) companies, public companies, incorporations, non-profit companies, closed corporations, and co-operatives.)
For an organisation – Accounting Officer, Liquidator, Administrator
For a club – Treasurer, Liquidator, Administrator
For a trust – Main Trustee, Liquidator, Executor, Administrator
