Discover the consequences of owing taxes and the importance of tax compliance. Learn how to request payment arrangements with SARS and receive assistance from qualified tax practitioners. Avoid criminal offenses and enforcement collection actions by seeking professional support
No one likes owing people money. Even worse, no one likes owing the government money.
It’s especially difficult when one doesn’t know exactly how much or from how far back this debt extends, because your contact details changed, and you have missed all their correspondence.
While you may think that this is a valid excuse to get away with not paying your taxes, the law would disagree. According to the South African Revenue Service (SARS) it is each citizen’s individual responsibility to ensure that they are tax compliant.
Remember, just because you have not heard from SARS, that does not mean that you are Tax Compliant. You need to contact SARS to confirm your status as Tax Compliant by requesting a statement of account via your e-filing profile or enlisting the help of a qualified tax practitioner like us.
We understand that taxes are quite complicated and that many people do try and leave it for as long as they think they can get away with it, however we are here to help you.
Our dedicated team of highly skilled, qualified tax practitioners are here to unpack the tax process and help you get comfortable with making compliance one of your good habits!
Many of our clients make us of our tax services every year, to ensure they can cross one more thing of their list of things to do. Even if you have not joined us yet, R450 will get you the peace of mind of being in safe hands.

If you are choosing to dispute the amount you owe SARS, we can assist with too, however you should be aware that you are expected to pay the amount owed, and based on the outcome of the dispute you may be credited that amount at a later date.
On a final note, remember that failing to pay your taxes without at least making an arrangement to that end, is a criminal offence. There are serious consequences if you choose to ignore SARS communications and not make payment.
SARS can, and will, institute what are called “enforcement collection actions” as follows:
So rather avoid that all together and just give your Compliance Companion a call instead!
