Overview

Many taxpayers are selected for SARS audits or verification. It is important to know what rights you have as a taxpayer and what requirements you must adhere to in order to be compliant with the requirements of the Tax Administration Act. In this webinar, we will unpack the audit and verification processes and share what to expect during an audit or verification. We will also discuss how to prepare for an audit or verification as well as how to communicate with SARS during this process.

This webinar covers the principles related to a SARS audit or verification as well as the practical considerations, such as how to communicate with SARS and what taxpayers should do if they are not in agreement with audit findings. The webinar is practical and hands-on and attendees will be exposed to case-study based learning.
