The South African Revenue Services implemented e-filing two years ago, with great success. Most income tax payers can file online in minutes, using information gathered from employers. IIRC, the number of tax Rands gathered rised significantly. Obviously, fraud can be commited by omitting income generated from non-registered employers or informal employment, but as far as I know, they keep quite close tabs on people's bank accounts. One factor that contributed to the success of the initiative, is the ease with which companies can submit their employees details, using software provided for free by SARS.
