What is Tax compliance status (TCS) PIN?

A PIN generated on SARS eFiling that lets a third party, such as a tender office or bank, check your tax compliance status online.

The TCS system replaced paper tax clearance certificates. You request a PIN for a purpose such as a tender or good standing, and share it with the organisation that needs proof. They verify your status directly with SARS.

Your status shows as compliant only if your registration details are up to date, your returns are filed and you have no unpaid debt without an arrangement. Fix outstanding returns and debts first, or the PIN will show you as non-compliant.
