How do I get a tax rerence number for a deceased individual?

Posted 6 November 2012

I am looking for a tax reference number for my late mother as places like Sanlam require it. How do I go about finding it?

You would need to phone SARS on 0800 00 7277 with all your mother's details and ask them to give you her tax number. They may even require you to go into a branch and show her death certificate, but try the call centre first as they should be able to assist.
