FAQ
What is a SARS tax dispute?
A tax dispute occurs when you disagree with an assessment, penalty, or decision made by SARS. This can relate to your tax return, VAT refund, late submission penalties, or other tax matters. SARS provides a formal process to lodge an objection or appeal.
How long do I have to dispute a SARS assessment?
You have 30 business days from the date of the assessment or notice to file an objection. If you miss this window, you must apply for a late objection with valid reasons — but SARS may reject it.
What happens if I ignore a SARS penalty or assessment?
If no action is taken, SARS can:
Begin collection proceedings (e.g. garnishing your account)
Add interest and admin penalties
Flag your profile as non-compliant
Deny your tax clearance certificate
Can I pause SARS from collecting while I dispute?
Yes. You can apply for a Suspension of Payment, which temporarily stops SARS from collecting while your dispute is under review. We help you file this correctly as part of your case.
What are my chances of success in a dispute?
It depends on the strength of your case, supporting evidence, and how well the objection is framed. Many disputes are resolved successfully with proper legal reasoning and accurate documentation — which is exactly what we provide.
You don’t have to accept SARS’ decision — challenge it with experts by your side.
