About TaxScanZA: SA Tax Scanner
SARS rejected your document? Every tax season, millions of South Africans photograph their documents, upload them to eFiling, and get rejected. Wrong size. Wrong format. No explanation. TaxScanZA fixes that in thirty seconds. Scan any tax document with your phone camera. The app automatically optimises it to meet SARS requirements: under 5MB, 300 DPI, correct format. You see the result immediately — file size before and after, with a clear "SARS compliant" confirmation. YOUR DOCUMENTS STAY ON YOUR DEVICE Your IRP5, medical certificates, and receipts contain sensitive personal information — ID numbers, income details, medical history. TaxScanZA never uploads your documents to a server. All scanning and optimisation happens on your phone. No cloud processing. No remote storage. The developer never sees your files. WHAT IT DOES - Scans tax documents using your phone camera - Optimises entirely on-device to SARS eFiling specifications - Shows file size reduction and compliance status - Exports via share sheet to email, AirDrop, or Files - Stores documents locally by category (IRP5, Medical, Travel, Sec 18A, Home Office) SARS REQUIREMENTS HANDLED - File size under 5MB (SARS eFiling limit) - 300 DPI resolution (SARS recommended) - PDF output format - No manual configuration needed - No internet connection required for scanning PRICING - Free: scan and store up to 5 documents - Pro: unlimited documents and export — R49, once. No subscription. Built for South African taxpayers. Not a tax calculator. Not a generic scanner. A tool that keeps your tax documents private and makes them work the first time you upload them.
