Fast and Reliable Tax Clearance Services

A Tax Clearance Certificate (TCS) confirms your business is fully compliant with SARS, with no outstanding returns or payments.

It is often required for tenders, funding, and contract applications.

• Good Standing

• Tender

• Foreign Investment Allowance (FIA)

Each serves different purposes.

Businesses applying for:

• Tenders

• Contracts

• Imports/exports

• Funding

• Opening new bank accounts

Individuals applying for foreign investment also need TCS.

If compliance is up to date, it can take 24–72 hours.

If issues exist, it depends on the resolution time.

• Outstanding returns

• Outstanding payments

• Incorrect profiles

• Incorrect Public Officer details

• Penalties not settled

We fix these issues before applying.
