Save thousands of rands and precious time with this alternative dispute
resolution method

Previously, if you had a dispute about your tax assessment or any formal SARS
process you had to approach the tax court or special board and wait around for
two years on average to have your dispute settled. But now you can solve your tax
problems without ever having to go to court.

It’s called alternative dispute resolution (ADR), a new form of mediation available
to any taxpayer or businessperson who has a bone to pick with SARS.

You can exercise the option of referring a matter to ADR or referring the mater to
the tax court or special board. If a matter is referred to ADR, your right to have
the matter adjudicated by the tax court or special board remains in place.

ADR could be the way the dispute is resolved in whole or in part, but if ADR fails to
resolve the matter, you can still go to the tax court or special board.
