Dealing with tax in South Africa isn’t always straightforward—especially when legal complexities arise. Whether you’re a business owner, a professional, or an individual taxpayer, there may come a time when standard accounting support isn’t enough. That’s when tax legal services become essential.

At Leozzy Accounting, we provide both tax advisory and legal support to help you manage disputes, protect your rights, and navigate complex tax issues with confidence. Here’s when you should consider working with a tax legal expert.

⚖️ 1. When Facing a SARS Audit

If SARS notifies you of an audit, it’s important to understand your rights and obligations. A tax legal advisor can help you:

• Respond to audit queries

• Review your records for compliance

• Ensure your responses are legally sound

• Avoid missteps that could lead to penalties

📄 2. When You Receive a SARS Final Demand or Letter of Findings

These letters often come with tight deadlines and serious consequences. A tax legal professional can draft formal responses, lodge objections, or escalate the matter to the Tax Board or Tax Court if needed.

🧾 3. In Tax Disputes or Appeals

If you believe SARS made an error or an unfair assessment, legal tax support is crucial. We help with:

• Lodging disputes or objections

• Submitting supporting documentation

• Representing you in negotiations with SARS

💸 4. When Owing Large Tax Debt to SARS

If you’re dealing with unmanageable tax debt, SARS may garnish your account or place your assets at risk. Tax legal services can assist with:

• Debt negotiation and settlement

• Suspension of payment applications

• Legal defense against enforcement actions

🔒 5. When Facing Possible Criminal Charges or Fraud Allegations

Tax evasion, non-disclosure of income, or falsifying tax returns can result in criminal investigations. You’ll need legal representation to:

• Defend your rights

• Prepare legal arguments

• Ensure fair treatment under the law

🏢 6. During Complex Business Restructuring or Transactions

If you’re restructuring your company, selling assets, or handling cross-border transactions, tax legal support helps you stay compliant and minimize exposure to unforeseen liabilities.

📚 7. When Seeking Legal Tax Planning Advice

Not all tax legal services involve disputes. Expert legal support can also help with:

• Trust structuring

• Offshore tax compliance

• Mergers & acquisitions

• Legal tax minimization strategies
