How to get your tax clearance certificate online

If you are emigrating, investing large sums offshore, bidding on a tender, or simply need to prove your good standing with the taxman, you will need to use the Tax Compliance Status service on the eFiling portal of the South African Revenue Service (SARS).

According to SARS, whether you are a business or an individual, you will, at some point, need to provide or confirm your tax compliance status with another entity.

Formerly called the Tax Clearance Certificate, SARS launched a new online system in 2016 that allows taxpayers to verify their good standing with the Tax Compliance Status (TCS) service.

Once you have generated a TCS PIN, you can still print a Tax Clearance Certificate.
To verify your tax compliance status, you must log into eFiling and click on Tax Status in the top menu bar, which will take you to the TCS section.

There, you need to click on the Tax Compliance Status menu option and navigate to Activation. Upon submitting your request, you will be redirected to the submission page, where you will be given a Request reference number, as well as a PIN for verification.

On the submission page, simply fill in your relevant details and submit the form at the bottom of the page. After submitting, you will see a notice that says your request has been successfully submitted, and you should receive an SMS verifying this.
