The total includes 1 401 applications from individuals to register as users, 68 submissions of tax returns and 119 tax practitioners who registered as intermediaries. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">Almost 800 (795) of the 1 401 applications from individuals were activated and approved as e-filing users. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">SARS said these figures demonstrate the effectiveness of e-filing when it comes to turn around times for processing information. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">Extending e-filing to individuals is one of the major service initiatives SARS is offering taxpayers during this year&#8217;s Filing Season campaign.
