New channel to register a trust

SARS has launched an online functionality for the registration of Trusts for Income Tax purposes.

Trustees, representative taxpayers, and registered representatives can now not only register a trust for income tax purposes, but also submit any supporting documents online. To simplify this process, SARS has made it easier for taxpayers to interact with them by providing for a digital environment rather than requiring taxpayers to visit a SARS branch for tax registration of a trust.

The following links can be accessed for more information on the new channel made available by SARS:

  • Register your trust by clicking here.
  • Access the overall SARS trust webpage, for more detail, by clicking here.
  • Send an online query to SARS by clicking here and following the relevant steps.
  • A list of supporting information that will be required can be accessed here.

A guide providing additional detail, which can be accessed here, is also available. Scroll to the Trust section for details in respect of the above.
