Periodic VAT audit is not a luxury but a real necessity which many organisations do not realise until they are confronted with additional tax claims that are brought forward by the tax authorities and sometimes they do not realise some tax overpayment made erroneously to the tax authorities which could be claimed back.
The VAT audit services we offer investigate assessments made over the past five years and recover any overpayment erroneously made during this period.
The following is also to be included:
- Review the VAT implications of all the transactions undertaken for the review period being the last 5 financial years and where transactions were done incorrectly or without correct documents we provide assistance to correct accounting record and engage in appropriate corrective action including all submission to SARS and dealing queries from SARS.
- Review of all VAT returns with view to identify CAT savings ensuring compliance with the VAT Act.
- Reconciliation of VAT control accounts and addressing of audit queries raised by Auditors, enhancing skills transfer in the process.
We offer our expertise and knowledge of the South African indirect tax legislation and its application to all kinds of organisations with a view to identify potential areas within your business processes where indirect tax savings can be achieved.
Our objective is to identify savings opportunities that could take the form of increased VAT (input tax) deductions, decreased VAT (output tax) payments or obtaining refunds of interest and penalties previously paid or due to the South African Revenue Service (SARS).
Our fee will be calculated on a contingency basis as percentage (excluding VAT) of the gross amount of any "savings" identified and received. If we fail to identify any savings, there will be no fee payable. All disbursements will be for our own account.
