Having trouble? Check the following:

Make sure you enter your company income tax number and not your personal income tax number. You can find your company income tax number under the "profile" section of your Govchain dashboard.

Only the SARS registered rep can accept the transfer. If you elected another director as the SARS registered rep then they will need to do this.

If you immigrated to South Africa, try to select the non South African option for the citizen and enter your ID number.
