What Is Tax Debt Relief in South Africa?

Tax debt relief refers to the legal processes available to manage or reduce your tax liability with SARS. Depending on your situation, this may include:

SARS Payment Plan

A payment arrangement under Section 167. If you can afford the debt but need more time, we can negotiate an affordable, structured tax debt repayment plan with SARS, allowing you to pay in manageable monthly installments.

SARS Payment suspension

A suspension of payment under Section 164.

SARS Debt Compromise

A compromise of tax debt under Section 200. Legally reduce your tax liability for a fraction of the amount owed. If you cannot afford to pay the full debt, we can apply for an official Offer in Compromise on your behalf.

Penalty & Interest Negotiation

Relief from penalties and interest. Penalties and interest can often double the original tax debt. We have a strong track record of successfully applying for the remittance and reduction of these substantial costs.
