Get Expert Answers to Your VAT Questions
Clear answers to the most common questions from enterprise clients about our VAT
recovery services and processes.
How much VAT can we typically recover for our enterprise?
Recovery amounts vary by industry and business structure, but our enterprise clients typically recover between R1M-R20M. We conduct a comprehensive assessment of your historical transactions, identifying missed credits, input tax errors, and compliance opportunities across all your business units.
What is the timeline for VAT recovery projects?
Most enterprise VAT recovery projects are completed within 3 months. This includes initial assessment (2-4 weeks), documentation review and claim preparation (6-10 weeks), SARS submission and follow-up (4-8 weeks). We provide weekly progress updates and maintain direct communication with your finance team throughout the process.
How do you ensure compliance with SARS regulations?
Our team includes qualified CAs and tax specialists with deep SARS expertise. We maintain current knowledge of all VAT legislation changes, use SARS-approved methodologies, and provide full documentation trails. All submissions undergo rigorous internal review before filing, and we handle all SARS communications on your behalf.
What fees do you charge for VAT recovery services?
We work on a success-based fee structure - you only pay when we successfully recover VAT for you. Our fees typically range from 35 - 40% of recovered amounts, depending on project complexity and size. There are no upfront costs, and we provide detailed fee agreements before beginning any work.
Can you work on-site?
Yes, for large customers with specific compliance and/or security requirements, we can work on-premises at your corporate office.
How do you protect our confidential financial information?
We maintain the highest levels of data security and confidentiality. All team members sign comprehensive NDAs, we use encrypted data transmission and storage, and maintain ISO 27001-compliant security protocols. Your data never leaves our secure systems and is permanently deleted upon project completion.
Can you work alongside our existing accounting firm?
Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with major accounting firms and in-house finance teams. We can work directly with your accountants to ensure seamless integration with your existing processes, and provide training to your team on ongoing VAT optimization strategies.
What if SARS audits our VAT recovery claims?
We provide full audit support as part of our service. Our comprehensive documentation and SARS-compliant methodologies significantly reduce audit risk. In the rare event of an audit, we represent you throughout the process at no additional cost and stand behind all our work with professional indemnity insurance.
