Tax Planning & Compliance

Tax that's planned in February, not panicked over in August

Most tax problems aren't caused by SARS — they're caused by decisions made without a full year's view. We build your tax position deliberately, then keep it compliant as things change.

Consultant meeting with clients to review tax planning in Cape Town
What's included

A full year of tax planning, not a once-off filing

Annual tax strategy session before the tax year begins

Provisional tax calculations, both August and February periods

SARS eFiling review and correction of prior misstatements

Retirement annuity and TFSA contribution timing advice

Capital gains planning ahead of asset sales

Support through SARS audits, verifications and disputes

Documentation trail for every deduction claimed

Coordination with your accountant or bookkeeper where one exists

How it works

From first review to filed return

01

Position review

We go through your last two SARS assessments and current-year income to find what's already been missed.

02

Strategy session

A 60-minute meeting covering contribution timing, deductions and any restructuring worth considering before year-end.

03

Provisional filing

We calculate and, where mandated, submit your provisional returns directly, with a written rationale for every figure.

04

Year-end reconciliation

Final return prepared, checked against the auto-assessment, and objected to if SARS's number doesn't match ours.

Questions we're asked often

Tax planning, plainly explained

Yes, where you appoint us as your registered tax practitioner on eFiling. We'll walk you through that authorisation in the first session.

Regularly. We focus on planning and SARS strategy; many clients keep their existing accountant for bookkeeping and monthly compliance.

We manage the correspondence, prepare the documentation and, if needed, represent you through the dispute process at no separate consulting fee for existing retainer clients.

No — anyone with significant income outside a salary (rental, investment, freelance) is usually liable. We'll confirm your status in the first review.

Get ahead of your next tax deadline

Book a 30-minute review and we'll tell you, honestly, whether your current filing approach is costing you money.
