Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Midrand really suit you before you apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: proof of registration as a tax practitioner plus your own tax compliance status PIN, as firms check it.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Midrand.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

Make sure your own tax affairs are up to date, as some firms check your compliance status before they appoint.
Give an example of a SARS dispute you won or a verification you cleared; firms value real results.
