How long will it take to get a SARS tax clearance certificate?
This depends on your specific SARS office and your tax status. In some instances you will be able to obtain a certificate in less than a week, but it may take longer. Please ask your local SARS office as to the expected time frame when applying. By ensuring that all supporting documentation is submitted with the application, including a full list of assets and liabilities, this will help to speed up the process.
