Tax practitioners in South Africa play an indispensable role in managing the tax status and affairs of taxpayers. Theirs is more than simply submitting a return on behalf of a client or calculating tax implications for a venture or a corporation. At a time when filing season is gouged with unscrupulous tax preparers and ghost tax practitioners who prey on the unknowing, the expertise of a SAIT registered tax practitioner is critical in ensuring tax compliance and a prosperous revenue collection system.

Why use a SAIT register tax practitioner?

Would you use an unregistered, unqualified and unregulated doctor to examine you, placing your life at great risk? The answer is no. Why should you use a ghost practitioner to handle your tax affairs, promising you undue refunds at the first onset, leaving you in danger with the tax man.
