I have lived abroad for six years and have not paid my taxes in South Africa.
I have now returned and am living in South Africa. I need to obtain my ITA34 documents for the past three years for the bank.

Did you or anyone acting on your behalf, file any tax returns for you with you with SARS during the time you were abroad? Did you have any local income such as investments or rental income while abroad?
If you answered no to the above question, you would not have an ITA34 to produce to the bank.
You can however go ahead and file the outstanding tax returns now. Please register for SARS eFiling by following the steps in this guide here

Once you have a SARS eFiling profile, please request your tax compliance status to see which tax returns SARS requires you to file.  You can follow the steps in our Tax Compliance Guide

Once you have determined which tax returns are outstanding, you can use TaxTim to assist you to file your outstanding tax returns.
