POLICYHOLDER
While you may have a competent accountant or tax practitioner, this does not guarantee protection in the event of a SARS' tax audit. The cost of defending an audit can be debilitating.

BROKER
Your clients look to you for professional, up-to-date insurance advice. The risk of a SARS’ tax audit is real – which means that insurance cover in the event of a SARS’ audit has become a top priority.

TAX ACCOUNTANT
The regulations and procedures around a tax audit are complicated. If your client is selected by SARS for a tax audit, you’ll most likely be the first port of call.
SA’s trusted insurance for taxpayers
SARS IS AUDITING MORE TAXPAYERS MORE OFTEN!
SARS is facing in excess of R300 billion tax shortfall. This is leading to increased audits. It’s no secret that they are targeting SMMEs, business owners, High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs) and trusts. More detailed tax audits and investigations are being performed to curb tax avoidance.
If you’re selected for an audit or investigation, SARS may put forward a case that you’ve underpaid your taxes or a human error may be found. Even if you have the best accountant or tax consultant in the world, you’re still at risk of being selected for a SARS’ tax audit.
Tax Risk Underwriting Managers offers individuals, business owners and trusts selected for a SARS' tax audit immediate expert assistance and support. We appoint and pay for a team of tax professionals to defend your case. This may include tax attorneys, auditors, tax specialists, accountants and other tax advisors who may be required to ensure a fair audit outcome.
From only *R210 for individuals and *R219 for businesses monthly, you will get the Tax Risk Insurance cover you need for total peace of mind.
*Terms and Conditions apply
