Frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know about filing your SA taxes with ClaimX.

ClaimX is a guided, do-it-yourself tax-return tool built specifically for South African taxpayers. You enter your income and deductions with simple, plain-language prompts — reading the figures off your IRP5 and certificates — and ClaimX applies the correct 2025/26 SARS rules (brackets, rebates, medical credits, retirement caps), shows your refund or amount owing, and generates a submission-ready tax pack you can file on SARS eFiling or hand to your tax professional.

No. ClaimX is a tax preparation tool, not a registered tax practitioner. We help you organise, categorise, and prepare your tax documents. We recommend having a qualified tax professional review your return before submission to SARS, especially for complex situations.

You don't upload anything — you type in the figures yourself, so keep your documents on hand. At minimum, your IRP5 (employee tax certificate). For every deduction you're entitled to, also have your medical aid tax certificate, retirement annuity certificate, IT3(b) interest certificates, and records for claimable expenses like home office costs, a travel logbook, or s18A donation receipts. ClaimX tells you exactly which figure goes where.

Every calculation runs entirely in your browser. The figures you enter are never stored on our servers or sent anywhere — nothing leaves your device. We are fully POPIA compliant and do not share any personal information with third parties.

For the 2025/26 tax year (1 March 2025 to 28 February 2026), non-provisional individual taxpayers can file from 1 July 2026 to 23 October 2026. Provisional taxpayers have until 31 January 2027 for e-filing. ClaimX lets you prepare year-round so you're ready the day filing season opens.

ClaimX is for any South African taxpayer who wants to claim every allowable deduction and file accurately. Whether you're a salaried employee with a single IRP5, a freelancer with multiple income sources, a property investor with rental income, or a business owner filing ITR14 — ClaimX handles it all.

Stop leaving money on the table.

Every year, South Africans leave billions in unclaimed deductions. ClaimX helps you claim what you may qualify for.
