SARS eFiling and tax return records are often needed for tenders, supplier onboarding, business finance, and general compliance. The key is to separate tax filing work from document organisation and keep proof easy to find.
Worked example
Example: separate registration, representative, return, payment, and supporting-document records so each tax workflow has a clear evidence trail.

Read our editorial standardsSARS eFiling profile support
A business or individual may need an eFiling profile, verified representative details, correct contact information, and access to the right tax products. TenderPDF can help organise the supporting records, but SARS controls the profile, verification, and official tax status.
Company and personal income tax returns
Company income tax returns and personal income tax returns use different taxpayer records and supporting documents. Directors and business owners should keep business bank statements, invoices, expenses, payroll records, tax certificates, and prior filing evidence separated and easy to review.
Tax PINs for tenders and supplier onboarding
A tax compliance status PIN is often requested because it lets another party verify compliance through SARS. The document pack should include the correct company details, tax reference information, and any tender-specific instructions about how the PIN must be supplied.
Document preparation before submission
Before a tax practitioner or authorised representative submits returns, the supporting documents should be readable, complete, and organised by period. Clean documents make it easier to review figures, identify missing information, and respond to SARS requests.
