In South Africa’s complex and ever-changing tax environment, staying compliant with SARS (South African Revenue Service) can be overwhelming—especially for small business owners, freelancers, and even salaried individuals. This is where a registered tax practitioner becomes not just helpful, but essential.
At Leozzy Accounting, we help individuals and businesses across Midrand and South Africa navigate tax obligations confidently and efficiently. Here’s why working with a qualified tax practitioner is a smart move.
✅ 1. Expert Knowledge of SARS Regulations
SARS regulations change frequently. A qualified tax practitioner stays up to date with the latest laws, budget changes, and filing requirements, ensuring your tax returns are accurate and compliant. This minimizes the risk of penalties, audits, and interest charges.
📋 2. Accurate and Timely Filing
Late or incorrect tax submissions can result in serious consequences. A tax practitioner ensures that your tax returns are submitted on time and error-free, reducing the chance of delays, rejections, or assessments.
💼 3. Tailored Tax Advice
Every taxpayer’s situation is unique. A good tax practitioner doesn’t just process your return—they assess your finances and provide strategic advice to help you save on tax, claim deductions, and maximize your refund legally.
🧾 4. Help with Tax Disputes & SARS Audits
If SARS flags your return or initiates an audit, a registered tax practitioner can represent you, respond to letters of findings, and submit objections or appeals on your behalf. They know the procedures and how to communicate effectively with SARS.
💻 5. Simplified eFiling and Administration
Navigating SARS eFiling on your own can be frustrating. A tax practitioner handles all eFiling submissions, documentation, and tax calculations, saving you time and reducing stress.
🛡️ 6. Peace of Mind
Having a licensed professional managing your taxes gives you confidence that everything is handled correctly. You can focus on your life or business while knowing that your tax matters are in good hands.
🚫 Why Avoid “DIY” or Unregistered Help?
Using someone who is not a registered tax practitioner may lead to inaccurate returns, penalties, and even criminal charges if fraud or misreporting is detected. Always ensure your practitioner is registered with a professional body like SAIPA, SAICA, or SARS.

-
SARS registration
-
Relevant qualifications (e.g., accounting or tax diploma)
