SARS Confirmation Letter Request & Assistance

At Eva Financial Solutions, we understand that obtaining your SARS confirmation letter is an essential part of managing your tax responsibilities. Whether you’re an individual or a business, we provide quick and efficient assistance in helping you secure your SARS tax confirmation letter to verify your tax registration number.

What is a SARS Confirmation Letter?

A SARS confirmation letter is an official document issued by the South African Revenue Service (SARS) to confirm an individual’s or business’s tax number. This letter is often required by financial institutions, government agencies, or other authorities when verifying your tax details for various purposes such as loans, registrations, or legal compliance.

When Do You Need a SARS Confirmation Letter?

  1. Verification for Loans or Financial Assistance

    Financial institutions or lenders often request this letter when assessing your eligibility for loans, credit facilities, or other financial services.

  2. Change in Tax Residency

    If a taxpayer ceases to be a tax resident in South Africa, they must complete and submit a declaration form to SARS informing them of this change. This form can serve as confirmation of their non-resident status.

  3. Employer Registration and IRP5 Generation

    Employers often need a SARS confirmation letter when activating or registering employees for payroll purposes. This letter may be required when employers are generating IRP5s for their employees. The letter serves as proof of the employee’s tax number, which is necessary for accurate tax reporting and compliance.

  4. Double Taxation Agreement (DTA) Requirements

    When rendering services or receiving income in a foreign country that has a Double Taxation Agreement (DTA) with South Africa, a confirmation of tax residency may be required. This helps avoid double taxation. A SARS confirmation letter can be obtained to confirm your tax residency status in South Africa, and it’s often used to apply for a Certificate of Residence.
