HOW ANCHOR WORKS

Three stages. One specialist approach.

  1. 01

    Tax Review

    Review the return and underlying tax position to determine whether the treatment is correct, complete and supportable — and what needs attention before SARS asks.

  2. 02

    Verification & Supporting Packs

    Reconcile the numbers, organise the evidence, index supporting documents and build a submission SARS can follow.

  3. 03

    Dispute & Resolution

    Where the matter is genuinely in dispute, identify the correct procedural route and build the case around the legislation, facts and evidence.

THE EVIDENCE DIFFERENCE

Do not just submit documents. Build a submission SARS can follow.

Good presentation does not replace the underlying tax position. It makes the facts, evidence and reasoning easier to assess together.

  1. REF.01

    Position

    Clarify what the return or assessment says, and the tax position that needs to be supported.

  2. REF.02

    Reconciliation

    Make sure the numbers connect across the return, working papers and underlying records.

  3. REF.03

    Evidence

    Organise relevant documents into a clear chronology with an index SARS can use.

  4. REF.04

    Submission

    Set out the explanation and supporting material in a form that addresses the actual issue.

OBJECTIVE ADVICE

A dispute is not always the right answer.

Anchor reviews the facts, tax position, evidence and procedural options before recommending the next step. The appropriate route may include:

  • Correcting a return
  • Responding to verification
  • Preparing further support
  • Requesting reasons
  • Pursuing a formal dispute
  • Concluding that further action is not commercially sensible
