THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SARS NON-RESIDENT CONFIRMATION LETTER AND THE EMIGRATION TAX COMPLIANCE PIN

SARS Non-Resident Tax Status Confirmation Letter

SARS is now officially issuing confirmation of tax non-residency letters. The letter serves as an additional confirmation one’s non-tax residency, with pre-existing documentation having an expiration date and not always suffice in dealing with some tax non-resident matters. However, this has sparked some confusion amongst the South Africans working abroad who are not sure of the difference between the SARS non-resident confirmation letter and the Emigration Tax Compliance (TCS) Pin.
