Registration of Trusts for Income Tax purposes can now be done online

SARS COMMUNIQUE

New channel to register a Trust

28 March 2022 – SARS has launched an online functionality for the registration of Trusts for Income Tax purposes via the SARS Online Query System (SOQS) on this website. Trustees, representative taxpayers, and registered representatives can now not only register a trust for income tax purposes, but also submit any supporting documents online. In simplifying this process, we have made it easier for taxpayers to have a seamless experience when interacting with SARS in a digital environment rather than visiting a SARS branch for Trust tax registration.

For more information, see our:

• Trusts webpage
• Send us an Online Query (SOQS) webpage (with all the current SARS services)
• Supporting documents required to register a Trust
• The direct link on the SOQS system to register your Trust for Income Tax.

If you need the detail process first before going to the online registration link, see the updated Guide on how to use the SARS Online Query System.
