WHY ARE TAXPAYERS AT RISK?

Tax audits are part of the SARS mandate, to ensure compliance and to maximise tax collections. SARS reported that it exceeded its audit coverage targets last year, conducting more than 1.8 million tax audits. This is the unnerving reality – SARS are now auditing more taxpayers more often, and statistically, you could be next.

SO HOW DO I GET SELECTED FOR AUDIT?

Even if you believe, like most people, that your taxes are up to date and accurate, SARS can still select you for an audit. Some audits are completely random. In other cases, SARS may put a case forward that you’ve underpaid your taxes, or a human error may have been discovered. The reality is that even if you employ the best accountants in the world, you may still get selected for audit.

The fact is, any SARS audit is ALWAYS best handled by qualified experts in their field.

For a very affordable monthly premium, a Tax Risk Insurance policy will pay for a team of experts to fight your case and ensure you receive a fair outcome.
