Unemployed- Not to be employed but want personal tax number. Possible?



I need a personal tax number, but I've never been employed and don't plan to be (I'm self employed). Is it possible to obtain one?

Please help,
Thanks

In order to obtain a SARS tax number click the link and complete the form and then follow the instructions on how to submit it to SARS.

Great! Thanks Tim! And for the ID certification, can that be done at SARS?

This needs to be done at a police station or by a Chartered Accountant or lawyer. However if you go to SARS to submit your documents then you will be able to have them certify your ID for you.
