We audit your last 5 years of VAT returns. If we find recoverable amounts, we handle everything with SARS from start to finish. Our fee is 25% of what we recover — you keep 75%.
What we do
We focus exclusively on recovering overpaid VAT for South African businesses — a narrow discipline that requires deep SARS regulatory expertise.
01
A forensic review of up to 5 years of your VAT201 submissions — identifying every period where your business may have overpaid or under-claimed.
02
We identify missed input tax claims across your supplier invoices, imported goods, capital expenditure, and operational expenses.
03
We prepare and submit the official Request for Correction to SARS and manage the recovery process through to payment — you receive the funds directly.
The process
Three steps from document submission to money in your account.
Upload your VAT returns, invoices, and supporting documents through our secure portal. It takes less than 10 minutes.
Our specialists analyse up to 5 years of your VAT history and calculate a precise recovery figure. We come back to you with a confirmed amount before proceeding.
We submit the corrected returns to SARS. When the refund lands, you keep 75% of everything recovered. Our fee — 25% of what we make you — is the only charge, and only applies once money is in your account.
If the audit finds nothing recoverable, you pay nothing. Our fee only applies when there is a successful recovery — that is the entire model.
Every recovery is submitted through SARS's official Request for Correction mechanism. No shortcuts, no risk to your tax standing.
Your financial documents are handled with strict confidentiality. We never share client data and operate under standard non-disclosure terms.
Our fee is 25% of what we recover. No retainer, no hidden charges. We earn only when you do — which means our interests are completely aligned with yours.
