Tax Audit Disputes: Navigating Red Tape and Legal Complexity
As SARS intensifies tax collections and audits in 2025, every business and trust faces unprecedented scrutiny – and increasing costs in managing disputes.
Willem Lombaard, Managing Director of Tax Risk Underwriting Managers and Kevin Watson, Executive Head of SATIB Insurance Brokers share their expert knowledge on how to protect your assets and peace of mind against SARS’s latest enforcement tactics.
They unpack how, following the latest national budget, SARS is facing increasing pressure to collect more taxes. The agency has hired an additional 750 debt collectors to bolster its tax collection capabilities.
The result is that companies and individuals can expect a considerable rise in SARS audits. Many times, these audits lead to incorrect or unfair tax assessment and additional tax payments.
Disputing these demands can be time-consuming, stressful and costly, often requiring specialised tax expertise to achieve a fair outcome. Even if you win your case against SARS, you will be responsible for covering the fees of your tax accountants and attorneys for services rendered during the dispute.
In this focused, one-hour webinar, we discuss what to do if you, your business or your trust is selected for an audit or faces a dispute regarding an incorrect or unfair tax assessment.
