Tax Consultant (Corporate Income Tax)

Clients sleep better when their tax is sorted, and a fiduciary and trust company in Johannesburg CBD needs you to sort it. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is Johannesburg CBD-based, with most of your time spent at a fiduciary and trust company. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Check SARS assessments and flag errors to clients
• Keep client tax files complete for five years
• Apply for tax clearance and tax compliance status PINs
• Prepare VAT201 returns and review input tax claims
• Respond to SARS verification letters and upload documents on time

• Comfortable handling tax season overtime
• Clear writing for SARS letters and objections
• At least 2 years of SARS eFiling experience
• Registered tax practitioner with a recognised controlling body such as SAIT or SAIPA
• Degree or diploma in accounting or tax

• Tax software experience such as TaxShop or CaseWare
• Customs and excise knowledge for import-export clients

• Paid controlling body subscription
• Bonus at the end of filing season
• Flexible hours outside filing season
• CPD hours paid by the firm

• Give an example of a SARS dispute you won or a verification you cleared; firms value real results.
• Make sure your own tax affairs are up to date, as some firms check your compliance status before they appoint.
