Process
How a tax engagement runs
01
Review the taxpayer profile
Registered tax types, submission history, balances and correspondence on record.
02
Identify outstanding obligations
A written list of every return, declaration and reconciliation still due.
03
Confirm required records
What is available, what is missing, and what must be reconstructed.
04
Prepare and review submissions
Prepared from source records, then reviewed by a second person.
05
Submit with client approval
Nothing is filed before you have approved it in writing.
06
Monitor correspondence and next actions
Assessments, verifications and follow-ups tracked to closure.
Questions
Tax and SARS, answered
Outstanding returns and historic cleanup are common. They are scoped and quoted separately from recurring work.
We have outstanding returns from previous years. Can that be fixed?
Yes. We review the SARS profile, list every outstanding obligation, confirm which records are available, and prepare submissions in a sequence that clears the profile. Cleanup work is quoted separately.
Can penalties and interest be reduced?
Penalties and interest are determined by SARS. Where grounds exist, a remission request or objection can be lodged. Outcomes are decided by SARS and cannot be promised in advance.
What should we do with SARS letters and notices?
Send them to us when they arrive. Most correspondence carries a deadline, and we track the response, supporting documents and any follow-up on your profile.
Can you get our tax-compliance status sorted?
We identify what is blocking compliance status, whether returns, balances or registration details, and work through each item. Confirming status depends on SARS processing once submissions are filed.
What supporting documents are needed for a verification?
Typically bank statements, invoices, contracts and reconciliations for the period under review. We confirm the exact list against the SARS request before responding.
How long does SARS take to respond?
Timelines are set by SARS and vary by case type. [Insert verified turnaround expectations for the work Dandane controls.]
Can you take over historic cleanup and current compliance at the same time?
Yes, and this is usually the better sequence: current obligations are kept current while the backlog is worked through in agreed stages.
