Tax Clearance Certificate

What Is a Tax Clearance Certificate?

A Tax Clearance Certificate is a document issued by the South African Revenue Services (SARS), confirming that you do not owe them any money.

Do I need clearance from SARS to submit government tenders?

You will usually be required to provide a tax clearance certificate from SARS with your tender response, especially for government tenders.  You can obtain a tax clearance certificate from the SARS branch office at which you are registered, or you can apply online at the SARS website.
