How to apply for this job

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): proof of registration as a tax practitioner, your own tax compliance status PIN, as firms check it plus certified tax or accounting qualification.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 working days.

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

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

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