Serious concerns regarding tax submissions and accounting services

I was a client of Shiloah Accounting for several years and re**** on the firm to handle my accounting and tax matters, including provisional tax submissions (IRP6), annual tax returns and general bookkeeping.

During this time I received and paid invoices for services such as tax submissions, financial processing and accounting work.

Towards the end of 2025 I appointed a new bookkeeper to review my records and tax profile with SARS. During that process it became apparent that several tax submissions and accounting records had not been completed as I had understood them to be.

As a result, my SARS account now reflects substantial outstanding tax and interest relating to the 2023–2025 tax years, which I am currently working to resolve through a payment arrangement with SARS.

The financial and administrative impact of this situation has been extremely stressful. The matter has now been handed over to my attorneys and complaints have been lodged with the relevant regulatory bodies so that the circumstances surrounding the services provided can be properly investigated.

I would strongly encourage anyone using accounting or tax preparation services to regularly verify submissions directly on SARS eFiling to ensure that all compliance obligations have been properly handled.
