Don't Feed SARS Your Profits

Being compliant means giving SARS what it asks for. Optimizing means understanding exactly what you are entitled to and planning around it. If you already file your returns and know the basics, this is the next step up.

Don't Feed SARS Your Profits is a masterclass for readers who are already tax-literate. It begins with the optimization mindset, then looks at entity structure and how it affects tax. You study retirement annuity deductions, Section 12J and other investment incentives, and turnover tax in depth. The VAT input and output chapter, provisional tax strategy, and assessed losses with carryforwards show how the pieces fit together over time.

A further chapter covers international income and expat tax, and the final chapter helps you build your own optimization system. It is written around South African law and rates, and it is education rather than personal tax advice, so you can have an informed conversation with your adviser. It assumes you are ready for depth.
