In order to register with SARS an employer must fill in a form called an EMP101 form and send it to SARS. This form can be collected from SARS or you can print the form from SARS’s website: www.sars.gov.za

It is advisable to get professional help from an accountant or an attorney to help with the registration. SARS regularly changes the requirements for registration a well as the documentary evidence needed.

The SARS will let the owner of the business know that it has received the EMP101 form. SARS will ask for more information if necessary. When the employer has given the information that SARS asked for, SARS will issue a letter confirming registration.

Returns are issued monthly from SARS E-filing.
