SOUTH AFRICAN REVENUE SERVICE
PRESS STATEMENT

30 OCTOBER 2007

ELECTRONIC FILING

This is an urgent reminder to taxpayers:

1. Taxpayers who want to submit their returns on paper must do so by 31 October 2007.
2. Taxpayers who wish to use eFiling DO NOT HAVE TO REGISTER BEFORE 31 OCTOBER 2007. You have until 31 JANUARY 2008 to register for eFiling and to electronically file your return.
3. Some taxpayers are unduly anxious about registering for eFiling and are advised to register after 31 October 2007.
4. Public anxiety is leading to high volumes of traffic on the SARS eFiling website and taxpayers may experience delays.

Taxpayers are advised to visit the SARS eFiling website from 1 NOVEMBER 2007.
