Your business’s Tax Compliance Status (TCS) demonstrates your standing with SARS, which is crucial for eligibility in government tenders, B-BBEE certifications, and more.


Understanding TCS for Businesses

A compliant TCS means that SARS has verified your company is up-to-date on all tax payments, filing, and registrations. This can impact:

  • Financial Opportunities: Lenders may check your TCS before approving loans or lines of credit.
  • Foreign Investment: TCS verification is required for remittance applications and certain international investments.

How to Obtain and Maintain a Favorable TCS

To secure a compliant TCS, businesses must ensure:

  • Timely Payment of Taxes: Settle outstanding tax balances to avoid delays.
  • Complete Filing: Submit all tax returns by the due dates.
  • Registration with SARS: Ensure you’re properly registered for all relevant tax types, including VAT and PAYE.
