Many taxpayers have experienced grievances with SARS, but have not been successful in resolving the matter satisfactory. While there might be plenty to debate on the internal efficiency of SARS itself, more often than not the taxpayer is at fault for not following the correct procedure when it comes to tax disputes.
ProBeta offers a dedicated session for this process of dispute resolution, to guide the taxpayer in knowing their rights and responsibilities in resolving tax matters.
This session will address matters including, but not limited to, the following:
• What decisions or actions may be disputed in line with tax legislation
• The rules for the dispute resolution process, including the process for
o A request for reasons
o Raising an objection
o Lodging an appeal
o Tax board and tax court proceedings
o Settlement of a dispute (as well as those circumstances where it might be inappropriate to settle)
o Consequences or outcome of a dispute
• This session will not cover the scope of penalties and interest in detail – it will, however, incorporate the element of disputing these matters
Financial managers, Tax Practitioners, Bookkeepers, and Financial accountants
