Hi there
I have tried, these quick fixes and still can’t view the content of the forms on SARS eFiling, I’m not sure what else I need to do to fix it.
hello there
i tried to download adobe flash player on the sars efilling page and it shows my device does not support it and am using a samsung j2… what can i do now?
Great help, I’m up and running with quick fix of changing safari to emulate IE. Thank you. Donald
I have enabled IE and can view the IT12 & complete it, but still can not view the call results. Where to now?
I don’t know.
I have not dealt with this issue in 2 years, so I have not had to figure out the current solution.
If you want it fixed I charge a flat R550 fix rate. No fix, no fee.
