Frequently Asked Questions
What is a SARS TCS PIN used for?
A Tax Compliance Status PIN replaces the old paper Tax Clearance Certificate. It allows third parties (employers, banks, tender boards, CIPC) to verify your real-time tax compliance status.
How long is a TCS PIN valid?
A TCS PIN remains active as long as your tax compliance status remains compliant, or until revoked by SARS.
What should I do if my TCS request is non-compliant?
If SARS marks you non-compliant due to unfiled returns or outstanding balances, My Accountant can audit your profile, submit unfiled returns, and negotiate payment arrangements.
