Good to know

Common questions

When is my individual tax return (ITR12) due?
For non-provisional taxpayers, ITR12 returns typically open in July and close late October. Provisional taxpayers have until late January of the following year to file. We track every client's deadline and remind you well in advance.
Do you handle complex returns with multiple income streams?
Yes. Salary income, rental properties, freelance income, capital gains, foreign income, trust distributions — we handle all of it. The more complicated your return, the more value an experienced tax practitioner brings.
I haven't filed in years. Can you still help?
Yes. We routinely help clients catch up on multiple years of outstanding returns and negotiate with SARS to mitigate penalties and interest. The sooner you act, the more we can do.
Do you do trust and estate tax returns?
Yes. We prepare and submit trust returns (IT12TR), and assist with estate-related tax matters in conjunction with your attorney or executor.
How does your fee structure work?
We quote up front per engagement — never by the hour without you knowing what to expect. Simple individual returns are reasonably priced, more complex work is quoted after a free 30-minute consultation.
