works through the <strong data-start=\"1505\" data-end=\"1536\">Tax Compliance Status (TCS)<\/strong> system. Through this system, a taxpayer can request a TCS through SARS eFiling or the SARS Online Query System and receive a PIN that allows third parties to verify the taxpayer\u2019s compliance status.<\/p><p data-start=\"1775\" data-end=\"2162\">Brendmo helps individuals and businesses request tax clearance support for tenders, Central Supplier Database requirements, supplier onboarding, funding applications, import\/export processes, contracts and other compliance requests. We help you understand whether you need a <strong data-start=\"2050\" data-end=\"2061\">TCS PIN<\/strong>, a <strong data-start=\"2065\" data-end=\"2086\">TCS result letter<\/strong>, or guidance on fixing SARS issues before a compliant status can be issued.<\/p><p data-start=\"2164\" data-end=\"2674\">The important thing to understand is that a tax clearance request is not just a document request. SARS checks your tax compliance status, and if there are outstanding returns, tax debt, incorrect tax types, inactive profiles, representative issues or unresolved SARS matters, the request may not produce the compliant result you need. SARS also provides a \u201cMy Compliance Profile\u201d view on eFiling so taxpayers can see their compliance status and reasons for non-compliance.<\/p><p data-start=\"2676\" data-end=\"2983\">For tenders and supplier onboarding, the TCS PIN is especially useful because third parties can verify your status online. SARS explains that third parties must use the taxpayer\u2019s PIN to verify the compliance status through SARS eFiling or the SARS Online Query System.<\/p><p data-start=\"2985\" data-end=\"3397\">We assist by checking what you need, guiding the request process, and helping you understand what must be resolved if SARS does not show you as compliant. If your profile is already in good standing, the process is usually simpler. If SARS shows non-compliance, the next step is to identify the reason and deal with it properly before trying to use the tax clearance for tenders, CSD, contracts or registrations.<\/p><p data-start=\"3399\" data-end=\"3606\">If you are not sure whether you need a tax clearance certificate, TCS PIN, TCS result letter or tax compliance guidance, request a callback below.
