Tax services

The South Africa Revenue Service (SARS) may take some getting used to, which is why professional assistance could be invaluable

Tax isn’t the most popular topic of conversation, not just because it usually involves handing over large sums of money, but because it can also be extremely complicated to the ordinary man in the street. However, help is at hand.

If you need assistance with personal income tax, company tax for your business, filling in a tax return for the South African Revenue Service (SARS), or if you simply require advice on some feature of the South African tax regime, advice can be found. Tax is said to be one of the only two certainties in life, and there are sometimes heavy penalties for non-compliance. However, with the right advice, you can turn your taxation issue into a win-win situation.

A tax solution can be tailored to your specific needs, and this has been done for several years now. A dedicated team of tax experts on call, based in Cape Town, currently provides assistance to private individuals and companies when dealing with SARS. These services have grown substantially since they were started, and they rely on three important fundamentals.

Fair charging

Sorting out your tax can be expensive, because you have to do everything yourself. This also costs time, which is valuable when you are running a business or building a career. Tax issues can eat into your personal time, leaving you with little sleep or reduced quality time with your family. At the same time, little costs can accumulate, making it a painful affair. However, with the right assistance, you can enjoy the benefit of a fixed quotation, either on an annual or a monthly basis, meaning that you can have peace of mind and a streamlined process at the same time.

Accessibility

We are very easy to get hold of. We do not try to hide behind large doors of our reputation. You can phone, e-mail, fax, or visit in person, if you would rather do business face to face.

Customer orientation

Tax is not something that everyone is an expert on. There simply isn’t the time to familiarise oneself with all the ins and outs of the system. And, besides, not everyone wants to have that level of expertise when they are busy with other things. Tax can seem daunting, and even confusing at times. This is why it is important to have the help of someone who can dismantle the technical side of tax, and make it easy for you to understand. In other words, your interests are served first.

We also assist in other ways, such as:
• Individual tax consulting
• Business consulting
• Accounting services
• Business budgeting and forecasting
• Business planning
• Website design
• Offshore branches for foreign firms starting operations in South Africa

Tax registration

For the uninitiated, registration with SARS, while trying to set up a business at the same time, can be a tricky process. There are company tax, VAT, PAYE and SITE to take care of, and this can take up a lot of time. As an example, registering for VAT can be a daunting process, because as a new business you are required to prove that you will generate the requisite rate of turnover

So, why not make use of our tax consulting service? We handle all aspects of tax registration in South Africa, including:
• Determining which taxes your business has to register for
• Filling in the forms and providing supporting documentation
• VAT
• PAYE and SITE

By emailing us at tax@immigrationsouthafrica.org, you’ll be contacted in return by a qualified consultant who, with a tax team behind him or her, can speedily and effectively sort out your tax challenges, whatever they may be.
