Tax Certificates

If you experience this problem (which will depend on the browser you are using, as well as your browser settings), you will see the following screen:

Although your browser is prompting you to ‘Please wait…’, your certificate does not load.You can prevent this problem by saving your certificate to a location on your computer, and opening it directly from there.

How to do this:
When you click on the link your browser may give you the option to ‘open’ the certificate in your browser, or ‘save’ to a location on your computer. If you receive this prompt, select the option to save it to your computer, and then open it from that location.
Depending on your settings, you browser may also immediately proceed with downloading your certificate, in which case you will see an icon like this at the bottom of your browser window:

If this happens, right-click on this button, and either:

  • select ‘save’ (to save to a location on your computer)
  • select ‘open with system viewer’ (to open this with the program you have installed for viewing PDF files e.g. Adobe Acrobat reader)

You can also go you the ‘Downloads’ folder of your computer and open it from there by clicking on the ‘Show all downloads button’, and then selecting ‘Show in folder’.
