Sign up now for this insightful in-person seminar with Dr Daniel N Erasmus

In April 2025, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) announced an ambitious initiative to bolster tax revenue collection by an additional R75 billion over the medium term. This move comes in response to the government’s decision to reverse a proposed Value-Added Tax (VAT) increase, which was initially intended to address fiscal shortfalls.

Dr Daniel Erasmus has built a distinguished career representing multinationals in complex tax disputes, defending close to ZAR 60 billion in contested assessments. Remarkably, the average taxpayer represented paid less than 3% of the amount claimed. These successes are driven by Dr Erasmus’ bespoke tax risk management strategies and specialised representation techniques, honed over decades of engagements with SARS and other African revenue authorities.

With SARS targeting an additional ZAR 75 billion in tax collections, multinationals and large corporates should expect a surge in audits and intensified scrutiny. Now, more than ever, organisations must prepare proactively to safeguard their bottom line.

In this high-impact three-hour, in-person seminar, Dr Erasmus will unveil the core tax risk strategies and audit-handling methodologies previously taught to senior executives at institutions such as the Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS).

Remember: Every ZAR 1 saved adds directly to your organisation’s bottom line. That single Rand saved equates to at least ZAR 20 in turnover—and it takes far less effort to save that ZAR 1 than it does to generate ZAR 20 in revenue.
