What this tool does: it generates the five things you need — the directors' resolution (or minutes, for a single director) appointing the person as Public Officer and SARS Registered Representative in one instrument, a Letter of Appointment, the “Update my details” photo sheet SARS requires, a gather-these-first checklist, and a step-by-step walkthrough of the SARS online submission — including the parts the official guides don't mention. Nothing you type leaves your browser.
Step 1
Your details
Fields marked * are required. These are the same details the SARS online form will ask for — gathering them here means no scrambling mid-submission.
Company details
Must match the CIPC record exactly — a mismatch is a common rejection cause.
On the company's SARS notice of registration, or any assessment.
The resolution
One director generates minutes of a meeting; more than one generates a directors' resolution.
The person being appointed
ℹ️This is usually a director — the person SARS will treat as the company's point of contact. They are appointed as Public Officer and Registered Representative in one resolution, which pre-empts the common rejection where SARS's public officer record doesn't match.
The SARS form requires this. Don't know yours? The same SARS online system has a “Request your Tax Number” tile — get it there first. Everyone who has ever been employed in SA almost certainly has one.
