For many taxpayers, the submit button on your tax return is the last stop to finalising your taxes. However, SARS conducts frequent audits for various reasons, and one must not be caught off guard when you find yourself on the receiving side of SARS’s queries. This course is the fourth in our 5-part series, and aims at assisting taxpayers to deal with the various aspects of SARS inquiries, verifications and audits. Please note that while these courses are presented as a series of related matters, they cannot be booked as a bundle and bookings are to be made for each course on its own.

This session will cover following: • SARS’s rights and responsibilities regarding access to information and administration and execution of the process of inquiries, audits and investigations • The rights and responsibilities of the taxpayer as the respondent in these matters • The documents and administrative deadlines involved in the process • Voluntary disclosure programmes and the impact on tax audits • An overview of the SARS lifestyle audits

Taxpayers, tax practitioners, business owners and other professionals or advisors might benefit from this course.
