What this service is designed to help you do

Tax-related requests can involve different documents, business details and official processes. The first step is to clarify what you need, which authority or organisation has requested it, and whether there are instructions or deadlines you must follow.

How Global Empower can assist

Depending on the request, we may help you identify relevant documents, organise business information, understand general administrative steps or find the appropriate official SARS information channel. We will confirm the scope before proceeding and refer you to official guidance when the matter requires an authoritative answer.

Tax compliance status and tax clearance

SARS controls taxpayer records, compliance status, tax-related decisions and any official confirmation or documentation. We do not issue tax clearance, change SARS records independently or guarantee a particular outcome. Any application or status depends on the taxpayer’s circumstances and SARS requirements.

Information security and careful document handling

Tax and business documents can contain sensitive information. Only share information necessary for the agreed task, and ask how it will be handled before sending identity, banking or tax documents. Keep copies of submissions and use official channels where required.

When to seek a registered tax practitioner

Questions involving tax interpretation, disputes, returns, complex compliance issues or professional representation may require a registered tax practitioner or another suitably qualified professional. Our administrative assistance does not replace professional tax, legal or accounting advice.

A clear next step for your request

Tell us the document or administrative task you are trying to complete, whether you have received an official notice, and what deadline applies. We can then discuss whether it fits our limited assistance service or whether you should contact SARS or a qualified practitioner directly.

Frequently asked questions

These answers provide general information about tax compliance assistance. Your exact requirements may depend on your business, the agreed service scope and any applicable official rules.

Can you guarantee tax clearance?

No. SARS determines tax compliance status and related outcomes. We cannot guarantee tax clearance or any particular result.

Do you provide tax advice or prepare tax returns?

This page describes limited administrative assistance. It should not be treated as a tax-practitioner service or a substitute for professional tax advice.

What should I share when enquiring?

Start by describing the general task and any deadline. Avoid sending sensitive tax, identity or banking documents before the scope and handling arrangements are confirmed.

Where can I verify official requirements?

Use the official SARS website and contact channels for authoritative requirements and decisions. A qualified tax practitioner may be appropriate for complex matters.

Can you help organise business documents?

We can discuss administrative assistance with organising information and identifying relevant documents, subject to the agreed scope.
