On 28 October 2021, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) hosted a live Webinar on Registration, Licensing and Accreditation (RLA). As you may know, RLA, an electronic platform where registration and licensing applications are managed, was implemented in April 2020. There have been several enhancements to the platform since its implementation, with the most recent implemented on 10 September 2021.
It will allow certain client types who have to renew their licences at regular intervals to do so via RLA on eFiling for the first time. Current Customs clients will eventually be allowed to reregister on the RLA system, starting soon with clearing agents and rolling out to remaining clients in a phased approach.
The webinar was announced on 25 October 2021. It would have been nice to have a bit more advanced notice.
