How to apply

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Polokwane really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified tax or accounting qualification, your own tax compliance status PIN, as firms check it plus proof of registration as a tax practitioner.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 working days.

Tips to get shortlisted

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.
