We operate on a transparent annual retainer model for individual taxpayers. This includes provisional submissions, SARS correspondence, audit engagement and document storage.
Our fees reflect the level of technical review and SARS compliance required for each category.
We are not the cheapest option and we don’t try to be. Every return is prepared and reviewed by a qualified practitioner not processed by software and signed off.
When SARS queries your return, audits your file or issues an incorrect assessment, you need someone who actually knows your case. That costs more than a discount service. For most clients, it costs less than one year of getting it wrong.
For salaried individuals with straightforward tax affairs. Covers employment income, retirement annuities, medical aid credits and standard investment income. If your tax situation is simple, this gets it handled properly at a fair price.
For individuals with more than one income stream or a moderately complex tax position. Covers rental income from one property, independent contractor income under R500,000, sea-going crew income, and diversified investment portfolios. The right tier if your affairs have moved beyond a basic return but don't require full specialist attention.
For individuals with materially complex tax positions where errors are expensive. Covers sole proprietorship income above R500,000, foreign trade income and tax credits, active investment trading accounts, and multiple rental properties. At this level, the cost of an incorrectly prepared return — in penalties, interest or a protracted SARS audit — far exceeds the fee.
Your fee covers preparation and submission of your ITR12, both IRP6 provisional tax submissions, all SARS correspondence throughout the year, and document storage. You are not billed separately for routine SARS queries or follow-ups on your file.
We manage the audit response on your behalf. This includes compiling the supporting documentation, drafting the response to SARS, and following up until the audit is resolved. Audit representation is included in your annual fee for standard matters.
Possibly not, but many salaried individuals are over- or under claiming without knowing it. Common missed deductions include travel allowances, home office costs, retirement annuity contributions and medical expenses above the credit threshold.
Your ITR12 is your annual income tax return, submitted once per year after the tax year ends. Your IRP6 is a provisional tax return, submitted twice a year by taxpayers who earn income outside of a salary. If you freelance, earn rental income or run a business, you are likely a provisional taxpayer.
Yes. If SARS has issued an assessment you believe is incorrect, we can review it and lodge a formal objection on your behalf. There are strict timeframes for objections so it is worth acting quickly.
es. We assist with Approval for International Transfer (AIT) applications, cessation of tax residency, foreign income declarations and exit tax calculations. These are specialist applications that require a consultation before we can engage.
