Our individual tax services are designed for professionals, business owners, and families who need clarity and confidence with personal tax matters. We provide practical guidance that balances compliance obligations with long-term planning. With proactive support, you stay prepared and reduce avoidable tax stress.

Service scope

Personal Tax Consultations

We provide one-on-one consultations to review your tax profile, obligations, and planning opportunities. This is ideal for individuals navigating salary, investment, rental, or business-related income streams. You receive clear guidance tailored to your circumstances and goals.

ITR12 Preparation & Submission

We prepare and submit ITR12 returns with careful reconciliation of income sources, deductions, and supporting records. The service suits taxpayers who want complete, accurate filings and fewer SARS queries. Timely submission helps avoid penalties and compliance disruptions.

Tax Planning for Individuals

We help individuals plan tax positions in advance of key events such as bonuses, investment decisions, or business profit distributions. Planning is structured around compliant strategies and realistic assumptions. The result is better tax predictability and improved financial confidence.

Capital Gains Tax Advisory

We advise on CGT implications for disposals of property, investments, and other assets. This service supports taxpayers who need to evaluate timing, records, and potential liabilities before transactions are finalised. You gain a clearer understanding of impact and options.

Estate Planning & Tax

We provide tax-focused input for estate planning to help families structure legacy intentions efficiently. The service considers estate duty, liquidity implications, and reporting requirements. This helps reduce uncertainty and supports smoother intergenerational planning.

Expatriate Tax Services

We support expatriates and globally mobile professionals with tax residency considerations, income treatment, and filing obligations. The service is useful for individuals earning across jurisdictions while maintaining South African tax responsibilities. You gain clearer compliance direction in a complex area.

Tax Compliance Reviews

We conduct personal tax compliance reviews to identify missing filings, documentation gaps, and historical risks. Individuals with changing income profiles or previous filing uncertainty benefit from this check-up. Early correction improves SARS readiness and long-term compliance.

SARS Correspondence Handling

We manage SARS correspondence responses, including verification requests and follow-up communications. This supports taxpayers who need technical assistance and structured case handling. You get timely, professional engagement that reduces stress and improves response quality.
