Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
Settling a dispute with SARS in court is a lengthy and expensive process which most taxpayers wish to avoid. The ADR process is not such a formal, adversarial and expensive procedure to resolve disputes. The process is driven by a facilitator and involves an informal meeting where you can state your case. We assist clients throughout the process, including preparing the case and representing the client at the ADR meeting and in subsequent negotiations.
Negotiating Dispute Settlements
SARS may agree to settle on an amount less than the actual disputed tax liability in given circumstances. However, in order to arrive at such settlement requires involved negotiations and meeting specific requirements. We can advise clients on the appropriate process for specific circumstances and assist in negotiations with SARS in relation to reaching an acceptable settlement.
