Fill in a tax form online

Upload the tax declaration, IRP form or SARS application as a PDF and DocFilla fills your names, address and bank details in the printed grid. You add the tax numbers and amounts.

Tax declarations and employer forms ask for tax reference numbers, ID numbers and banking details in printed grids. DocFilla fills what it knows from your saved details and keeps the grid intact for the rest, so the form prints clean and legible for whoever has to capture it.
