Unsatisfied with the outcome of a SARS dispute? You may want to follow the Tax Ombud process. This session explores the correct process to follow and under which circumstances.

The Tax Ombud is an effective and efficient instrument for the respect, promotion, fulfilment and protection of taxpayer rights and responsibilities. The Tax Ombud strengthens taxpayer confidence in tax administration and voluntary compliance with their tax obligations.

The office of the Tax Ombud provides a fair and simple way to seek a resolution for a service, procedure or administrative dispute which has already been unsuccessfully resolved through SARS. The Office of the Tax Ombud is independent of SARS.
