How to share your SARS letter (safer than website uploads)

Website uploads can introduce privacy and security risks if not configured correctly. For confidentiality, Rapid-Tax-Relief recommends emailing your SARS letter directly to: ecassim@rapid-tax-relief.co.za

Include these 4 items

  • • SARS reference number
  • • Deadline date (very important)
  • • Tax type: VAT / Corporate Income Tax / Personal Income Tax / PAYE
  • • 1–2 lines describing what SARS is asking for

Extra privacy tip

If you prefer, you can redact your ID number and bank account number before sending. Keep the reference number and deadline visible.

Rapid-Tax-Relief FAQs

Written for South African tax realities (SARS audits, VAT verification, disputes).

What should I do first if I receive a SARS audit or verification notice?

Move fast. Note the deadline and reference number. Gather supporting evidence (returns, invoices, bank statements, contracts, payroll records, schedules). Then respond with a structured pack. Missing deadlines or sending incomplete evidence increases risk.

Does Rapid-Tax-Relief handle VAT submissions and VAT disputes?

Yes. Rapid-Tax-Relief prepares VAT returns, reconciliations, verification packs, and manages dispute steps when SARS queries VAT positions.

Can Rapid-Tax-Relief help with Corporate Income Tax and Personal Income Tax audits?

Yes. Rapid-Tax-Relief helps with audit readiness by building clear schedules, matching numbers to source documents, and managing SARS correspondence through the process.

Is it advisable to upload a SARS letter on a website?

Not usually. Website uploads can be secure, but only if configured correctly (secure storage, access controls, encryption, retention policies). For most small firms, it’s safer to request SARS letters via email or a secure link. That’s why Rapid-Tax-Relief recommends emailing your SARS letter to ecassim@rapid-tax-relief.co.za.
