I am looking for an accounting service that will be able to provide me with continuous advice on how to best structure my tax liability to be cost effective, provide advice on whether deductions will be allowed/not allowed prior to filing a return to ensure that the return is settled with as little additional to and fro as possible without costing me in interest. I also need the consultant to take charge of when I need to submit what (as a provisional tax payer) and keep in constant communication with me on progress. I do not want someone that just take my money and leaves me to follow up with either them or SARS on what is happening. I want to feel that I am able to ask questions and discuss possible solutions without the clock ticking at a Rand a minute. A set fee would be preferred so that I can budget accordingly.
The above mentioned store was previously registered in my fathers name. My Father has been ill for a year now and we decided to move the store to my moms name. I am not sure if the previous account has submitted the returns to date before my mom took over the store and I would also need assistance in submitting the current tax returns.
I am a freelancer and recently found out I need to submit provisional tax returns. I have been freelancing for just over a year and apparently I should have submitted 3 returns but I was unaware of this fact and I have been trying to figure it out for myself. I need help with this. Please email me as I am very busy with work and not always able to take calls.
I registered this company years ago for a business venture that went nowhere. The company made zero income. I had no background in business so I didn't understand how to properly close down a business. I haven't done anything with this business and it hasn't been operating for years now. A few days ago, SARS contacted me saying I need to file a tax return for this business. I have no idea what to do now.

Hello, I have just opened a Pty Ltd company. I generate income (2 x per year) from a single customer overseas which goes into my personal account. This will be transferred to my Pty company. Also starting to generate income from a 2nd local company (one invoice per month). Am working from home most of the time. So things are pretty simple. I basically need to know what it would cost to submit my returns for me and also will need advice on what can be claimed as tax deductibles. Many thanks Glen
Hi I need a set of books audited for tax and professional registration purposes. I am a small experimental drone manufacturer designing a prototype system. Currently, I have no income other than director contributions (loan account) and some expenses for material and electronic components. Records are kept in QB online. I'll need feedback on my bookkeeping skills and advice on how to improve (I'll make changes as needed) and the audit of the books. I will file with SARS and CIPC. Regards
I need an accountant, and tax practitioner to work in collaboration. I do my rep updates myself, but will supply all required documentation, for telephonic appointments. All my TB's are absolutely correct. But I need someone to submit provisionals, and tax. Also, my experience is, that smallwr companies doesn't really need their AFS, at fin year end. When they need to buy vehicles, overdraft, or such financial assistance. The financial institutions, doesn't want to work with management statements, but current AFS. This would mean, that the client would need to pay for AFS, at fin year end, and then, again, later through the year. I'm just starting up. I do all my own footwork and submissions. I need a pricelist, for acting as my accountant, and tax practitioner. I would like to have a pricelist, for said requirements. I need to have decent fees, please? I use to work for an accounting firm, handling 64 clients, mostly VAT registered, along with all statutory duties. I have severe Ortho arthritis, hand couldn't handle the pain,pressure, and sitting in the same position anymore. I'm starting up from scratch, with just enough clients, that can cover my expences, and have a decent salary. Even retired accountants will be appreciated.
