VAT Advisory and Compliance Services

The South African National Accreditation System (SANAS) is inviting proposals for the appointment of a Tax Expert to assist with Value Added Tax (VAT) on imported services. The selected expert will be responsible for determining the applicability of VAT on SANAS's international transactions, which have totaled approximately 55 payments over the past six years. Key responsibilities include reviewing VAT submissions, providing technical advisory services, and developing standard operating procedures (SOPs) and guidance notes to enhance compliance with South African Revenue Service (SARS) requirements.

The engagement is expected to span 2-3 months, during which the Tax Expert will report directly to the Chief Financial Officer or a designated SANAS official. Interested bidders must demonstrate a minimum of three years of relevant experience in South African taxation, particularly in VAT compliance and advisory services. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in ensuring that SANAS meets its tax obligations efficiently and effectively, thereby supporting the organization's overall financial integrity and compliance framework.
