Customs & Excise Disputes & Advice

The Customs and Excise Act, 1964 (Act No. 91 of 1964), provides for the levying of customs and excise duties; levies in relation to fuel, the environment, and the Road Accident Fund; air passenger tax; and the importation, export, manufacture or use of certain goods. Customs and excise is an extremely specialised field, and the team at Pieterse Sellner Erasmus TRM Tax Attorneys possesses the necessary experience and legal capability to handle any dispute in terms of the Act.

Tax Dispute Resolution

Before approaching the courts for relief when SARS issues an assessment or takes a "decision", a taxpayer must first pursue internal remedies within the Tax Administration Act. These internal remedies are established by Chapter 9 of the Tax Administration Act 28 of 2011. This chapter establishes the format and time periods required in order to dispute an assessment or "decision" taken by SARS. It further establishes which decisions can be disputed and details how to go about moving the dispute forward.

Tax Refunds and Refund Disputes

Our experienced team has managed to obtain VAT refunds on behalf of taxpayers in record time. With our understanding of both the tax law nuances as well as the internal workings of the systems we are able to assist taxpayers in obtaining their refunds that are often withheld unlawfully. This would include situations whereby SARS unlawfully applied setoffs against debts that are allegedly due.

Tax Compliance Status (TCS)

Outstanding tax debt can have widespread negative effects on a business's financial facilities; and with more institutions requiring tax compliance status (TCS) to transact, a TCS is essential. We are able to assist by facilitating payment arrangements or a compromise offer to SARS, and if accepted, we can successfully apply for your TCS. In the event that you are disputing your tax liability, we are able to file a suspension of payment application for the disputed debt, thereby enabling a TCS application.
