Tax problems come in different shapes and forms and has a wide variety of origins – your accountant/auditor messed up, you messed up, SARS is being ridiculous , you didn’t know about this or that, cashflow issues – the list goes on and we have seen and heard them all. In the end though, SARS is going to knock at your door (regardless of the source of the problem) and that’s the problem we focus on solving and we’ve done it many times. Check out some of our recent achievements below.

We were founded and are managed by Nico Theron BCom Law (cum laude), LLM (Tax Law), BCom Honours Taxation, MCom Taxation (SA and International Tax)). With over a decade of practical tax experience we can comfortably deal with tax at a practical and deeply specialised level.
Nico is an industry recognised tax expert, often training other tax professionals across South Africa at the request of the South African Institute of Taxation (SAIT) and the Tax Faculty, lectures tax at post graduate level at the University of Pretoria, and is also the author of Practical Guide to Handling Tax Disputes, a book published by Lexis Nexis regarding all the remedies available to taxpayers to challenge SARS’ assessments and decisions.
We are geared to deal with a tax dispute at almost any stage during a dispute with SARS, whether that be at objection or appeal or litigation. Whichever option we work on will be discussed and agreed upon prior to project commencement.

This training session examines the Company AF judgment and its impact on the General Anti-Avoidance Rule (GAAR), paragraph 43A, the choice principle, dividend-stripping arrangements, SARS’s litigation powers, and penalty disputes. Learn how the decision reshapes tax planning, procedural strategy, and the interpretation of anti-avoidance provisions in South African tax law.
This training session unpacks the Constitutional Court’s decision in Lueven Metals and its significance for tax interpretation. It explains why text, context and purpose must be read together, but cannot be used to stretch statutory wording beyond what it can reasonably bear. The session highlights the VAT zero-rating dispute, SARS’ successful argument, and the broader lesson that commercially attractive interpretations must still be grounded in the actual words of the tax provision.
