Since SARS introduced the IT3D submission requirement last year (2024), PBOs across South Africa have been grappling with a new layer of compliance. This year, they face the challenge of submitting all Section 18A certificates issued between 1 March 2024 and 28 February 2025, with the deadline looming on May 31, 2025.
The traditional IT3D submission process is often frustrating - enrolling administrators, requesting certificates, creating strict SARS compliant files, correcting errors, and completing declarations. What should be straightforward often takes forever to complete!
But what if you could skip the chaos?
