Overview

SARS eFiling remained a critical platform for running a professional and efficient tax practice in 2026. With continuous enhancements, phased modernisation, and new digital compliance requirements, practitioners often faced system changes that disrupted existing workflows.

This practical, bi-monthly eFiling Clinic focused on the latest 2026 updates, enhancements, and common system-related challenges. The session provided real-time, practice-driven solutions to navigating eFiling’s evolving environment. It also created a forum where participant feedback, questions, and pain points were actively integrated into the discussion.

Current eFiling issues experienced by practitioners were unpacked, and step-by-step workarounds were provided to improve accuracy, efficiency, and client service.
