Corporate Tax

Proper management of the corporate tax function requires specialist knowledge of the tax legislation to identify planning/structuring opportunities and to ensure certainty as to the tax burden. Structuring companies to benefit from maximum operational performance and sufficient legal protection whilst keeping taxes to a legal minimum, underpins the success of many businesses. The success of the tax function also depends on how well the tax compliance burden is managed which requires a working knowledge of SARS procedures. Intellifin partners with our clients to provide expert and pro-active assistance for optimal management of the tax function. Our services thus cover a wide range of areas:

Tax planning & structuring

In-depth tax planning and structuring are increasingly becoming an important financial management function. Virtually every transaction undertaken by companies, whether in the ordinary course of business or extraordinary in nature, has tax implications that require careful consideration from the outset. Detailed planning and structuring can assist in minimising any attendant tax liabilities/risks.

Tax compliance & administration

Managing the tax function requires ad-hoc and recurring administration involving SARS. SARS are implementing aggressive tactics in relation to collecting outstanding taxes and expanding tax base by interpreting legislation in their favour to counter revenue shortfalls. Our services aim to provide clients with certainty as to their compliance burden and how to navigate the administrative burden.

General tax consulting

The complexity of regular amendments to and ever changing practices of SARS in relation to tax laws complicate the management of the tax function. Intellifin partners clients every step of the way to ensure that all tax issues are identified and addressed through quality and expert consulting services across all fields of tax.
