If you're a novice, then Tax Tim would probably work. If not, then it's likely to be a frustrating experience. Pros: It's an alternate platform, less glitchy than SARS. Cons: If you've input info on SARS efiling already, even if you input updated data on Tax Tim, the data is compared side by side. This probably increases the chances of being audited. My understanding was that the Tax Tim submission would 'save over' the SARS data. Apparently it may not work like this. Tax Tim has exactly the same fields as SARS. Apart from guiding you through the tax codes you find on your IRP5 (which you will find on the SARS site anyway), there is no other meaningful advantages to using Tax Tim rather than file direct with SARS. If you've given Tax Tim consent to file for you, and you change your mind, you will not find your return on Efiling anymore. You cannot phone Tax Tim. You have to log a query via email and wait for it to be answered. Even SARS answers phonecalls (eventually).. Sadly what I thought would be a quick efficient experience is turning out to be anything but : - (
David Mathews painters provided a competitive quote and specification for our body corporate which included painting and waterproofing. After the job was approved and work started, a project manager was then on site. She said there was a misunderstanding and that the waterproofing was not included, despite it being on the signed contract. Effectively we got only a portion of what we paid for. Once the job starts and workmen are on site, there is no time to remedy the 'misunderstanding' and then get other quotes and solve the problem and the person who gave you the quote will not take your calls.
