What is a SARS Dispute?
A SARS dispute arises when a taxpayer disagrees with an assessment, penalty, decision, or finding. Formal resolution procedures are provided for under the Tax Administration Act.
SARS Objections
Notice of Objection (NOO)
The first formal step in challenging a SARS decision. We ensure submissions are technically aligned with legislation.
- Reviewing SARS assessments
- Analysing audit findings
- Preparing legal grounds for objection
- Drafting detailed objection submissions
- Supporting document preparation
- Tax legislation analysis
SARS Appeals
Appellate Procedures
If an objection is disallowed, we represent you in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and preparaty phases.
- Notice of Appeal preparation
- Alternative dispute resolution support
- Tax Board and Tax Court preparation
- Legal and financial analysis
- Negotiation support
- Supporting affidavit preparation
Audit Disputes
Verification Support
Managing SARS engagements early during audits to prevent incorrect assessments and penalties.
- SARS audit responses
- Supporting documentation preparation
- Tax reconciliation reviews
- Financial statement analysis
- VAT and payroll reconciliations
- Legal response drafting
Suspension of Payment Applications
Lodging an objection does NOT automatically stop SARS from collecting debt. We apply for a formal "Suspension of Payment" to protect your cash flow during the dispute.
Estimated Assessments & SARS Debt
SARS may issue estimates when returns are outstanding or information is incomplete. These often significantly overstate liabilities.
Penalty & Interest Remissions
SARS imposes administrative and understatement penalties (up to 200%). We request remission based on "Reasonable Grounds" or exceptional circumstances.
