The National Revenue Authority (NRA) has announced the introduction of an online verification system designed to curb the growing use of fraudulent Tax Clearance Certificates (TCCs) across the country.
A TCC, according to the Authority, is a secured statutory document issued as proof that a taxpayer is compliant with their tax obligations. The certificate is required for a wide range of legal, financial, business and personal transactions, including bidding for government contracts, registering businesses and properties, opening business bank accounts, securing loans and grants, immigration processes, renewing licenses, and transferring funds overseas.
In a bid to strengthen transparency and enhance public trust, the NRA stated that the new verification platform will become effective in January 2026. The initiative allows both individuals and institutions to confirm the authenticity and validity of any TCC presented to them.
To verify a certificate, users are required to:
Visit portal.nra.gov.sl or www.nra.gov.sl
Click on Online Services
Select TCC Verification
Enter the Tax Clearance Certificate Number and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) exactly as printed on the certificate
Click Search
According to the NRA, the system will display whether the TCC is valid or expired, along with its validity period and expiration date. If the reference number entered is incorrect or fake, the system will clearly indicate that the certificate is not authentic.
The Authority strongly encouraged members of the public, government institutions, and private sector organizations to make use of the system before accepting any Tax Clearance Certificate.
