TaxTim

TaxTim is a tax filing service for South African taxpayers, linked to SARS eFiling. Users register for free, link their SARS-eFiling profile to import tax information, and answer plain-English questions while TaxTim prepares, checks and submits the return. The page lists filing packages for individual income tax (ITR12, from R215), provisional tax (IRP6, from R550) and company tax (ITR14, from R699), plus a File For You option where a registered tax practitioner completes the return for user review before submission. The page states a trust figure of 500,000+ South African taxpayers and a 4.2 rating from 190+ reviews, and says TaxTim has been operating since 2011.
