SARS TAX PRACTITIONER

READINESS PROGRAMME

What is the programme?

The SARS Tax Practitioner Readiness Programme delivers important information to new tax practitioners in terms of professional expectations. New tax practitioners will understand their obligations and responsibilities as well as applicable SARS processes and policies to be adhered to.

Completion of this programme with a 90% pass mark for each module is mandatory for individuals applying to register as tax practitioners from 1 July 2022. Each candidate will have three attempts to complete the programme noting that finalisation of registration as tax practitioner will depend on successful completion. However, the content of the programme is a useful refresher course on the tax environment, thus existing members are encouraged to make use of the programme as well.

The SARS Readiness Programme is available Here.

There are 8 modules with effect from January 2025. The modules for 2022/2024 are here.
