Who this is for

This is for you if...


  • You've been meaning to file for weeks and the tab is still open.
  • Your tax return has more in it than one IRP5 — for example rental income, freelance work, a share portfolio, crypto, foreign income.
  • You've got a year or two outstanding and you're not sure where to start.
  • You'd simply rather pay someone than spend an evening on it.
  • You run your own business and your time is worth more than the fee.
  • Tax makes you nervous and you would like a professional to deal with it.

If any of those sound like you, fill in the form below and a registered tax practitioner will come back to you with a price.

How it works


1
Tell us about your tax

Fill in the short form below and give us some detail on what's in your tax return and which years you need filed.

2
We send you a price

A registered tax practitioner looks at what you've told us and sends you a quote for that work. You'll know what it costs before anything starts. Your quote covers your tax return as you've described it, so if something turns up that wasn't in the picture, we'll tell you what it changes and what it costs before we carry on.

3
Create your free TaxTim account

Register for free and link your TaxTim profile to SARS in two minutes. That's what lets our tax practitioner pull your tax information and file on your behalf.

4
We file for you

We complete your tax return and review it properly for every deduction you're entitled to. Then we send you the completed tax return along with a summary of the income, deductions and figures we've used, so you can check them against your own records. Once you confirm you're happy, we file it with SARS.

What's included


A registered tax practitioner on your tax return

A real person, registered with a recognised professional body for tax practitioners, not a call centre.

Every deduction checked

Medical aid, retirement annuity, travel, home office, donations. We look for what you're entitled to, because most people miss something.

You check it before it goes to SARS

We send you the completed tax return and a summary of the figures we've used. Nothing gets submitted until you've confirmed you're happy with it.

Submitted to SARS for you

We complete and file the tax return on eFiling. You don't touch it.

We handle SARS follow-ups on your tax return

If SARS comes back asking for supporting documents on what we filed, we deal with it. Formal disputes, objections and appeals are separate work and quoted separately.

Your information stays safe

Bank-level encryption, POPIA compliant.

What it costs


From R1,299per tax return

Every tax return is different, so we quote per return.

Your quote is based on what you tell us about your tax when we quote you. As long as that's the job, that's the price. No hourly billing, no surprise invoice at the end.

Covered

What your quote covers

  • Completing and submitting the tax return you've described to us, for the tax years in your quote.
Not covered

What it doesn't cover

  • Work that comes out of something that wasn't mentioned when we quoted.
  • Getting your records ready. If your amounts still need to be pulled together, reconciled or corrected before we can file, that's separate work.
  • Tax advice beyond the tax return itself, such as planning questions or a written opinion.
  • SARS disputes, objections and appeals.
  • Extra tax years that weren't in your original quote.

If any of those come up, we tell you what it costs first.


Nothing extra is charged, and nothing is submitted to SARS, without you agreeing to it.

Your situation Price
Straightforward: one IRP5, medical aid, retirement annuity From R1,299

FAQ's

Because a qualified person is doing the work instead of you. When you file with TaxTim yourself, you're paying for software that makes the process easy. Here you're paying for a registered tax practitioner's time: reviewing your documents, completing the tax return, checking for deductions you might have missed, and submitting it to SARS. If your tax return is simple and you've got twenty minutes, filing it yourself is the better-value option and we'll happily point you there.
It's the starting price, and it covers a straightforward tax return. If your tax return has more in it, rental income or multiple outstanding years for example, it costs more. We'll tell you your exact price before any work starts, and that price holds for the work you've described to us. If something comes up that wasn't part of that, we come back to you with a price before we do anything further.
Once we've got all your documents, CONFIRM TURNAROUND. The slow part is usually waiting for documents, so the sooner you send them, the sooner it's done.
It depends on your situation, and we'll send you a specific list once we've seen your details. For most people it's an IRP5 from your employer, your medical aid tax certificate, and your retirement annuity certificate. If you have rental income, investments or your own business, we'll ask for a bit more.
Yes. Outstanding tax returns are one of the most common reasons people come to us. We'll quote per year, and we'll tell you upfront if there are likely to be penalties or interest so there are no shocks later.
If SARS asks for supporting documents on the tax return we filed, we deal with it as part of the service. Formal disputes, objections and appeals are separate work and are quoted separately.
Yes, and it's free to create. Once you've registered you link your TaxTim profile to SARS, which is what allows our tax practitioner to access your tax information and file on your behalf. It takes about two minutes and we'll walk you through it.
Yes, always. We complete the tax return and send it to you with a summary of the income, deductions and figures we've used, so you can check them against your own records. Nothing goes to SARS until you've confirmed you're happy with it.
It happens, and it's usually not deliberate. A common one is a property or share sale that triggers capital gains tax, which a lot of people don't realise has to go into the tax return.

If we pick up something like that, we stop and tell you what it means and what it costs before we do any more work. You then decide whether to go ahead at the new price. Nothing is submitted to SARS, and nothing extra is charged, unless you say yes.

If you'd rather not carry on, just tell us.
Yes. Your documents are encrypted, we're POPIA compliant, and only the tax practitioner working on your tax return can see them.
A registered tax practitioner from our team. Not an algorithm, not an outsourced call centre. You'll know who's handling your tax return.
