You will then be asked to complete the registration form with your personal details. Some helpful hints:

you should only be registering for eFiling if you have a Tax Reference Number already.
if you are unsure as to whether you need to register for provisional tax, click here to find out.
if you are married, be sure to click the correct button for Married in Community of Property. “Married in community of property” is a legal term that means all your assets and non-working income are split evenly between you and your spouse, this information would have been recorded in your marriage contract.
if you have a tax practitioner then enter their details here. Your practitioner will have a practitioner registration number in the format of PR-xxxxxx which they should be able to give to you. This will help SARS identify who your practitioner is in case they need to be contacted.
be sure to answer the security questions with answers that you will remember. These are used to get your password back if you forget it. When asked for a Helpful Hint question, it is important to make this something that is secure and that nobody else but you is likely to guess, also something that is easily remembered. You don’t want to have to phone SARS to reset this each time you forget.
your password must have a number, letter and symbol as well as a capital letter – for example, johnRob#1234.
