- Fully remote service — we deliver across South Africa; no office visits required.
- Clear next steps — we tell you what’s missing and who must be appointed if necessary.

What we do (simple, step-by-step)
- Quick assessment — we review your company’s tax status and documents.
- Identify blockers — if your company does not have a public officer registered at SARS, we’ll let you know — a public officer must be appointed before we can give an accurate quote or complete the clearance.
- Lodge the application — we prepare and submit the required SARS forms and supporting documents.
- Follow-up — we handle SARS communications and chase progress until the clearance is issued.
- Delivery — you receive the tax clearance certificate and a short summary of the filing for your records.
Who this is for
- Companies needing a tax clearance certificate for tenders, contracts, or banking.
- New businesses that must regularise their SARS status.
- Companies that want a remote, professional service without the hassle.
Documents we usually need
- Company registration documents (CIPC).
- SARS registration details (company tax number / eFiling username if available).
- ID copies of directors and the public officer (if already appointed).
- Proof of address and any outstanding SARS correspondence.
Note: If your company doesn’t have a public officer registered at SARS, a public officer will need to be appointed first — we can help with that appointment and then proceed with the tax clearance.
Turnaround & communication
We’ll provide a realistic timeline after the initial assessment (once we confirm whether a public officer is already registered). We’ll keep you updated at each stage so you always know what’s happening.
Pricing & deposit
We keep pricing competitive and clear. A R200 deposit is payable to start the process — this secures your place in our queue and covers the initial assessment and admin. Final cost will be confirmed after we review your company’s SARS status (and whether a public officer must be appointed).

⚠️ Please Note
📌 Important: This process requires the company to have a registered Public Officer with the South African Revenue Service (SARS). Every company in South Africa must appoint a Public Officer who acts as the official tax representative responsible for handling the company’s tax matters with SARS.
