What this is for
Worklog is a calculation aid, not a filing channel (yet) — the actual return is submitted on SARS eFiling. To make that painless, the VAT201 and EMP201 pages each have a “File this on eFiling — step by step” guide that names the exact eFiling field for every figure Worklog computed.
How to use it
Open SARS and choose the VAT tab (or the Employees’ tax tab for EMP201), pick the period, and tap the step-by-step guide. Log in to eFiling in another tab, open the matching return, and copy each figure into the field the guide names. eFiling calculates its own total — check it matches Worklog's to the cent before you submit.
After you submit
Come back and tap “Mark as filed”. That writes your own filing record in Worklog — what was filed, for which period, when — so a year from now you can answer “did we file that?” without logging in to eFiling.
Good to know
The guide covers the common case. Adjustments, bad debts, imports and other special VAT fields, and ETI details on EMP201, are worth a check with your accountant before submitting.
