Add tax returns to your services
Budgets are tight and clients are choosing carefully, so it helps to offer a service others can't. Your designation may already make you eligible for the Tax Compiler Licence.
With the licence you register with SARS as a tax practitioner through CIBA, a recognised controlling body. That lets you:
- prepare, check and submit tax returns
- check records and collect and verify supporting documents
- formally object to a SARS decision and handle SARS queries
Do you qualify?
You need an active CIBA designation. What else you need depends on your education level and tax experience:
| Education level | Tax module | Minimum years of tax experience |
|---|---|---|
| NQF 5 | A 2nd-year tax module in your qualification | 4 years |
| NQF 5 | No tax module in your qualification: complete the Qualify II Tax course on cpd.myciba.org | 4 years |
| NQF 6 or 7 | Complete the Qualify II Tax course on cpd.myciba.org | 3 years |
| NQF 4 | Complete the Qualify II Tax course on cpd.myciba.org | 10 years |
