TAX CLEARANCE CERTIFICATES:A Tax Clearance Certificate is a written confirmation from Revenue Services (SARS) that a person’s or Entity’s tax affairs are in order at the date of issue of the Certificate now also called a Tax pin.
With the Tax Compliance Status (TCS) system, a taxpayer is able to authorise any 3rd party to verify its compliance status through the use of an electronic access PIN.
The PIN must be used to verify the taxpayer’s compliance status online via SARS eFiling.
Top Tip: When the PIN is used for verification, the result reflects the current tax compliance status at the date and time the PIN is used.
- NOTE: In some instances a Certificate may be issued to a customer who has tax arrears provided such arrears are covered by an instalment arrangement that has been agreed with South African Revenue Services (SARS).
