Trust Tax Registration with SARS for Trusts in South Africa 📄✨
Fast, affordable help for SARS trust registration
If you need to register a trust for tax at SARS, we can help make the process simple, affordable, and stress-free. Many people assume that a trust is automatically registered for tax once it is created, but that is not the case. SARS states that trusts must register for income tax, and unlike CIPC-registered companies, which SARS says are automatically registered for income tax through the CIPC interface, trusts are handled separately.
At Admin Boss, we assist with trust tax registration at SARS in a way that is easy to understand and convenient to complete. We work remotely across South Africa, so there is no need for an office visit. 🌍
A small R250 deposit is payable to get the process started.
Why trust tax registration matters
SARS says that all trusts established in South Africa must register for income tax, even if the trust has no income or transactions. SARS also confirms that once a trust is registered, the trustee must submit the annual trust income tax return, known as the ITR12T.
That means the trust should not be left “for later.” If the registration is delayed, you could run into compliance problems, missed deadlines, or unnecessary stress for the trustees. 🌿
How SARS trust registration works
SARS currently allows trust registration through the SARS Online Query System (SOQS), and it also allows a branch visit by appointment if needed. SARS has also confirmed that it launched an online functionality for trust registration so trustees, representative taxpayers, and tax practitioners can submit supporting documents digitally.
In practical terms, the process usually includes:
- Preparing the trust’s registration details
- Completing the IT77TR application form and supporting documents
- Submitting the application through SARS’ online system or at a branch by appointment
- Receiving the trust’s income tax registration details
- Making sure the trust is ready for future filing, including the annual ITR12T return
Depending on the trust type, SARS may require supporting documents such as the trust deed, Letters of Authority, trustee identification, proof of address, and related mandate documents.

Important SARS note
SARS notes that a trust may also need to register for other tax products, depending on what it does. This can include provisional tax, PAYE, SDL, or VAT where applicable. SARS also explains that trust returns are submitted electronically, and that the annual filing process must be supported by the correct documents.
If your trust has employees, makes taxable supplies, or meets other tax thresholds, additional registration steps may be required.
