Can I register with eFiling using a foreign bank account?

Posted 9 July 2014

I'm a foreigner who has a South African tax number and want to register for eFiling but it won't accept my foreign bank details. Do I need to have a South African bank account?

It should accept foreign bank details. What is it saying when you try enter them?

It would tell us "Invalid Branch Code".
Should we be using a swift code?
We did NOT use a swift code.

If you have the SWIFT, BIC or IBAN number, try those?
