Received a SARS tax enquiry?

SARS tax enquiries and investigations can be very stressful and expensive to carry out and it is vital that you get expert advice in dealing with theses.

Anyone can be subject to a tax enquiry or investigation. With continued confusion as to what constitutes acceptable tax planning and what constitutes tax avoidance or evasion, SARS have further increased the volume of their investigations and are taking full advantage of their considerable power to collect as much tax as possible.

We can help you with the following:

• Self-assessment enquiries
• VAT enquiries
• Corporation tax enquiries

• UIF enquiries

We can also offer tax investigation insurance, which means should you get an enquiry,

We cannot prevent you from being investigated by the Taxman, but we can help to ensure that you get the best possible support and advice.
