For context, I’m a foreign national in South Africa, and received my first ever ID book as a permanent resident today, having received the PR around 6 months ago.
As soon as I received PR status, I started working as a sales agent. I’ve been paying 25% of my earnings into my company’s trust as a type of provisional tax, with the intention of paying it over to SARS once I had an ID number to register.
I did attempt to register with SARS using my foreign passport number, but efiling would not issue me with a tax number, despite uploading supporting documents.
After receiving my new ID number today, I tried to sign up for e filing and the ID number is not associated with a tax number.
I can rock up at the SARS office but last time I went, they turned me away for not having a booking. I can’t make a booking without a tax number.
Can anybody advise me how I can go about acquiring a tax number?
