How to get a Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC) from SARS?
When a taxpayer is compliant and up-to-date with his/her tax affairs, a TCC can be requested from SARS
How do I know when am I Tax Compliant?
- you are registered for all the tax products that you are liable for
- you have declared all your tax reference numbers on eFiling
- you do not have any outstanding tax returns
- you do not owe any money to SARS
How do I get a Tax Clearance Certificate from SARS?
You can access the Tax Compliance Status (TCS) System by selecting the Tax Status menu on eFiling.
Firstly complete the activation
Then select My Compliance profile, to view your tax compliance status.
- In detail you have to ensure that the following are all marked in green (showing compliance)
Registration
Submission of Returns
Debt
Relevant Supporting Documents
Ultimately, the taxpayer have the option to remedy any non-compliance
2. With this in mind, you can complete the Tax Compliance Status Request and submit it to SARS
In the event that your request is approved by SARS, you will be issued with an overall tax compliance status, and a PIN, to be sent via SMS or to be printed
Once you have provided the PIN to a third party, the PIN will enable the relevant organisation or government department to view your current tax compliance status online, without any confidential information being accessible.
What can I apply for on my TCC?
The TCS system is available for the following applications:
- Good Standing
- Tender
- Foreign Investment Allowance
- Emigration
