Tax compliance status and TCS PIN support
Check the current SARS compliance position, identify outstanding matters and prepare the steps needed for a Tax Compliance Status request.
What the work covers
Use this scope to identify what you need. Your proposal will confirm the services, records, reporting frequency and fees for your business.
- Review of the available SARS compliance profile
- A list of outstanding registrations, returns or payment matters
- Support with the agreed corrections or queries
- TCS request and PIN-sharing guidance within scope
- A record of the status and unresolved matters at the time checked
What to prepare
Tell us which records are available and where there are gaps. We can then distinguish ongoing work from any initial catch-up.
- Tax numbers and authorised SARS access
- Assessments, statements and recent correspondence
- Proof of payments or accepted arrangements
- The recipient’s request and any submission deadline
Timing and responsibility
Timing depends on the records, approvals and work required. Tell us about any deadline at the start. The engagement should identify the person handling your work, the review responsibilities and any external specialist needed.
A PIN is a way to verify a changing status
A recipient can use the authorised TCS process to check the taxpayer’s status. Do not assume that an earlier result proves current compliance indefinitely. Confirm the type of request and the information the recipient needs.
Resolve the actual blocker
Missing returns, payment allocations and disputed amounts require different work. An urgent tender does not remove those dependencies. Agree a prioritised action list; SARS controls processing and the compliance result.

Questions before you start
Can compliance be guaranteed before a tender closes?
No. Start with the current profile and the underlying issues. The deadline should be disclosed at the beginning of the engagement.
Does having a PIN prove every registration is correct?
No. Confirm the actual status and the separate registration or evidence requirements of the request.
