### 5/5 — App is efficient

*2026-02-22, version 2.0.93(121)*

The app so efficient and work perfect with all my tax related needs it’s easy to navigate and following the how to guides make it much easier as well

### 2/5 — Date on e-registration notice and login

*2026-01-13, version 2.0.92(120)*

The login is horrible. You need an OTP every single time. Also, the date on the e-registration notice doesn’t update. Please fix it ASAP

### 1/5 — Hire Better Software Developers

*2025-11-03, version 2.0.84(112)*

It’s genuinely crazy to think that SARS paid someone to build this app for, because it is as barebones as it gets, while at the same time being the least intuitive and most buggy experience you will have using an app. It should be developed from scratch and this version should be shelved to never see the light of day. A high school student could make a better app

### 2/5 — The app is not user friendly

*2025-10-22, version 2.0.84(112)*

This app sends an OTP for every log in and the email delays, when you ask them to resend the OTP, it still takes quite some time. When you want to select the payment arrangement option,it gives an error message. You can’t pay using the app and the amount you owe shown in the app is different from what SARS has emailed. So frustrating

### 1/5 — Convenient but frustrating

*2025-08-18, version 2.0.83(111)*

It’s great to be able to submit returns easily but it’s a one way channel , we cannot query anything, no support. Uploading docs is not easy I had to send an image because the pdf won’t work. SARS
Takes our money every month with no delays but payouts are a long 21 day process

### 3/5 — Not able to login

*2025-07-25, version 2.0.81(109)*

The app makes filing my returns so easy but after the last update I am unable to login! Please can this be resolved? I had to use the website to file my return but this is very inconvenient

### 1/5 — Cannot make payment

*2025-07-22, version 2.0.81(109)*

I downloaded the app to pay personal income tax due on my tax return, after trying for days on the website.
It does not work. Payment fails. I try to speak to an assistant and it tells me the service was stopped in 2024. I am not holding on for a call centre all day. I try WhatsApp, it’s just a bot that knows nothing. App deleted.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-07-17, version 2.0.81(109)*

I wish I could give it zero stars. It keeps making me login multiple times but never goes through. I keep getting an OTP. The first one works but doesn't allow me through and the rest fail

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-07-11, version 2.0.78(106)*

This app doesn’t allow me to login . I have been trying resetting my password and everything but still I have no access to my account. This app is just useless. I don’t know maybe it’s my phone but it doesn’t work at all

### 2/5 — OTP Not Working

*2025-07-07, version 2.0.78(106)*

When I try to login and enter my OTP, I consistently get errors saying the OTP could not be verified despite it being correct. How am I supposed to get my tax affairs in order when the app can’t authenticate against correct credentials?
