Penalties, interest and unresolved SARS disputes quietly drain the cash you have already earned. A non-compliant tax status locks you out of tenders and supply chains. We keep you compliant, defended and planning ahead.
Missed deadlines attract penalties and interest that compound quietly in the background. An underestimated provisional tax payment triggers penalties months later. An unresolved SARS dispute can escalate until accounts are frozen. And because your tax compliance status is now checked electronically by tender boards, enterprise supplier programmes and large customers, a single lapse can disqualify you from your fastest growth channels — often without you knowing until it is too late.
Businesses trading across borders face a second layer: withholding taxes, permanent establishment risk and transfer pricing rules that most small practices never see. We work with them daily.
Compliance protects money you have already earned — no penalties, no interest, no surprise assessments. Proactive planning means tax is budgeted, not discovered.
A clean tax compliance status keeps you eligible for government tenders and enterprise supplier programmes — among the fastest growth channels available to South African SMEs.
Cross-border and transfer pricing advice lets you take your business into new African markets without creating tax exposures that surface years later.
Our tax practice is led by Kagiso Skhosana (PA(SA), PTP(SA)) — an 18-year tax and treasury professional who manages tax across Southern, Central, East and West Africa and the Middle East, with deep PKF-built experience in SARS objections, disputes and audits. As SAIT-registered tax practitioners, we are recognised by SARS as your official representatives.
SARS has raised an assessment we disagree with. Is it too late?
Usually not — objections and appeals run to defined timelines, and late objections can be considered with good cause. The sooner we see the assessment, the more options you have.
We have unfiled returns from prior years. Where do we start?
With a full compliance diagnostic. We quantify the exposure, bring filings current, and negotiate penalty remission where grounds exist. Voluntary correction is always cheaper than discovery.
Can you handle both our accounting and our tax?
Yes — and it works better that way. When one team prepares the numbers and the returns, your financial statements and tax positions never contradict each other.
Start with a compliance health check — we will map every registration, return and risk, and give you a clear plan to green status.
