SARS services in one place
Tax Compliance Status / PIN
Request or troubleshoot a Good Standing TCS PIN. SARS explains that the PIN lets an authorised third party verify the taxpayer's current compliance status.
Registered Representative / Public Officer
Assist with the person authorised to act for a legal entity and the supporting verification information required by SARS.
Tax registrations
Support with applicable income-tax, VAT and other registration matters based on the taxpayer's circumstances.
Returns & provisional tax
Administrative support for return obligations, including IRP6 where relevant to the taxpayer.
What makes a TCS PIN useful
A TCS PIN allows a third party such as a customer, tender authority or government department to verify the taxpayer's current compliance status. The result is dynamic: it reflects the compliance position when the PIN is checked, not only when it was issued.
Registered Representative preparation
- Legal entity details and tax reference information.
- Representative's identity and eFiling details.
- Appointment/authority documents and supporting evidence requested by SARS.
- Correct personal details that match identity/passport records.
- Access to correspondence or cases where SARS requests verification material.

Frequently asked questions
Is there still a separate Tender TCS type?
SARS states that the Tender option no longer exists; the Good Standing application is used for this purpose.
Does a TCS PIN stay green permanently?
No. SARS states that compliance status is not static and can change as tax obligations change.
Can a company have more than one representative?
SARS notes that where a legal entity has more than one representative, one must be nominated as the official representative person.
