Who it's for

Who needs SARS compliance support?

Every registered business in South Africa has tax obligations. Falling behind on SARS is one of the fastest ways to lose tender access, funding eligibility and your peace of mind.

Our SARS service is for:

  • New companies - needing first-time tax registrations (Income Tax, PAYE, UIF, VAT)
  • Employers - submitting monthly EMP201 and annual EMP501 reconciliations
  • Tender applicants - needing valid tax clearance pins
  • Businesses recovering from non-compliance - outstanding returns or penalties
  • Funding applicants - clean tax status required for any application

Sustainable monthly compliance - built once, repeats forever.

Outstanding submissions filed, administrative corrections lodged, penalties addressed.

03

Monthly retainer

Ongoing EMP201, EMP501, VAT and tax clearance - handled on schedule.

04

Annual reconciliation

EMP501, ITR14 and provisional tax - submitted, signed off, on file.

Why stay compliant

Benefits of clean SARS standing.

Tender eligibility

Valid tax clearance is non-negotiable for any government tender.

Funding access

Funders require up-to-date compliance before assessment.

Avoid penalties

Monthly admin removed - late submission costs disappear.

Banking trust

Clean tax history strengthens credit applications and overdraft facilities.

Audit readiness

Every submission filed, every IRP5 issued - your file is always ready.

Peace of mind

You stop worrying about SARS letters. We handle them.

Avoid the penalties

Common SARS mistakes.

Late EMP201 submissions

Even a one-day delay triggers penalties. We submit days early, every month.

EMP201 / EMP501 mismatch

If monthly submissions don't reconcile to the annual EMP501, SARS audits. We balance these every month.

Letting tax clearance lapse

Tax pins expire. If a tender opens and yours has lapsed, you miss it. We monitor expiry dates.
