Practice Note SCM 1 of 2004 provides updated contact details for SARS officials responsible for issuing tax clearance certificates, a mandatory compliance document for all government tender submissions. The note contains no substantive changes to procurement rules, thresholds, or certificate requirements — only administrative contact information.
Tax clearance certificates remain a mandatory gateway requirement for all government bids; suppliers must use current contact channels to avoid delays in certificate issuance.
SARS contact details for tax clearance certificate queries have been updated in an official practice note.
Minimal — this is a routine administrative update affecting all suppliers equally; no competitive advantage or market shift results.
No new opportunities — suppliers should update their SARS contact records to ensure smooth certificate renewal for upcoming tenders.
Using outdated SARS contacts may delay certificate issuance, risking tender disqualification for non-submission of valid tax clearance.
