It’s a challenge SARS has accepted, Treasury has financed with an additional R4 billion in funding, and the media is touting as “Project AmaBillions”. This is how it will affect you – and how we can assist.

Mind The Tax Gap! Here’s How…

Increased funding allocated in Budget 2025 will enable SARS to zoom in on an estimated R800 billion in unpaid taxes in South Africa, including a substantial so-called “tax gap” of uncollected taxes. For taxpayers, this means more scrutiny, enquiries, verifications, and audits – and more stringent debt collection measures.
