Anonymised Case Study
Gauteng trader audited by SARS — and what we did about it
A trader earned R420,000 from forex over a tax year and never declared it. SARS picked up unexplained deposits from her offshore broker. She received an additional assessment with a 75% understatement penalty plus interest.
FahGold guided her through voluntary disclosure, restructured her record-keeping for the prior three tax years, and helped her register as a provisional taxpayer going forward. Total penalty exposure was reduced significantly through proper VDP procedure.
Outcome: Compliant going forward, SARS dispute resolved, ongoing quarterly compliance review.
