Appointment of a Public Officer — R350 (fast · reliable · affordable)

Make your company SARS-compliant today. Every registered company in South Africa must appoint a Public Officer to act as the official point of contact with SARS — they handle tax registrations, correspondence and filings on behalf of the company. Failure to appoint an eligible Public Officer can lead to blocked eFiling access, penalties and delays.
