Tax Practitioner (Individuals and Trusts)

You'll keep clients in good standing with SARS at a small tax practice in Kimberley. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is Kimberley-based, with most of your time spent at a small tax practice.

• Respond to SARS verification letters and upload documents on time
• Register clients for income tax, VAT and PAYE
• Advise on deductions such as retirement contributions and home office claims
• Keep client tax files complete for five years
• Check SARS assessments and flag errors to clients

• Registered tax practitioner with a recognised controlling body such as SAIT or SAIPA
• Comfortable handling tax season overtime
• Clear writing for SARS letters and objections
• Working knowledge of the Income Tax Act and VAT Act

• Customs and excise knowledge for import-export clients
• Experience with trusts, estates and capital gains tax
• Tax software experience such as TaxShop or CaseWare

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

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