Questions

Packages and pricing, answered

The starting fee reflects the defined scope of each package at typical volumes. Beyond that, processing effort varies with transaction volume, entities, VAT and payroll status and the condition of your records, so the final fee is confirmed after a short review of your actual data.

Yes. If headcount, VAT status or transaction volume changes materially, we re-scope and reissue the quote rather than quietly absorbing or dropping work.

Historic cleanup, statutory audits or independent reviews, SARS dispute work beyond the agreed scope, software licences, and any service listed as an add-on. Exclusions are itemised in the engagement letter.
