Individual Tax

Your tax handled properly. Every year.

From straightforward ITR12 submissions to complex cessation of residency applications. End-to-end compliance under one roof.

Individual tax compliance requires accuracy, technical knowledge and consistent follow-through with SARS. Our clients choose us because we manage the entire process properly from preparation and submission to audit response and dispute resolution. Every submission is prepared and reviewed by qualified tax practitioners with direct experience engaging SARS. We prioritise technical accuracy, documentation discipline and professional representation.

Who we assist

How it works

Why appoint a Tax Practitioner

  • SARS correspondence requires a registered tax practitioner to respond on your behalf. A layperson cannot formally represent you
  • eFiling is not intuitive; errors in schedules (travel, rental, foreign income) trigger audits
  • SARS selection for audit is largely automated.  A correctly prepared return reduces your audit risk
  • If selected for audit, you need someone who knows what SARS is actually looking for
  • Provisional tax (IRP6) requires accurate estimates. Underestimation attracts penalties and interest
  • Tax law changes annually; most individuals are unaware of what they can and cannot claim
  • A missed deadline results in administrative penalties that compound monthly
  • SARS disputes and objections follow a formal process with strict timeframes. Missing a step forfeits your rights
  • Specialist applications (AIT, cessation of residency) require technical compliance review that carries real financial consequence if done incorrectly
  • Your time has a cost. The hours spent navigating eFiling, gathering documents and chasing SARS reference numbers are rarely worth it

Our Fees

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.

Frequently asked Questions

What does your annual fee actually cover?

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.
