Note that you might get a message that says the letter is still being processed, in which case try again in a little while. When the letter is ready it will open in a new window. A unique PIN will be issued for each request that you make.
As described on the SARS website,
“The PIN provides you with a way to authorise any third party to view your tax compliance status online via eFiling. Once you have provided the PIN to a third party, the PIN will enable the relevant organisation or government department to view your current tax compliance status online. It will present them with your overall compliance status as at the date and time they check it instead of your status as it was at the date that the PIN was issued to you. To protect the confidentiality of taxpayer information, no other information will be accessible.”
Once you’ve received your pin, kindly send the letter to shani@cpmct.co.za and lisa@cpmct.co.za
