About the Role

We’re seeking a seasoned Tax Manager to lead direct tax compliance, tax accounting, and complex advisory for a multi-entity South African group. You’ll steer the tax calendar, own SARS interactions end-to-end, and deliver clear, defensible positions on evolving legislation. The role blends hands-on technical work with leadership—guiding stakeholders, uplifting capability, and ensuring reliable, audit-ready outcomes.

Who the Client Is

This opportunity is with a well-established, internationally connected professional services group with a strong South African presence. The organisation is respected for technical depth, disciplined governance, and partnership with blue-chip clients across multiple sectors, operating at the intersection of advisory and execution.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the full direct tax compliance cycle for companies, individuals, and trusts (incl. provisional tax and annual returns).

• Manage SARS verifications, audits, and supporting documentation; lead disputes (remissions, objections, appeals, ADRs), payment suspensions and VDPs.

• Prepare and review tax accounting, reconciliations, and disclosures; partner with Finance on month-end and year-end.

• Draft tax opinions and legal memoranda; perform research on new developments, rulings, and pronouncements.

• Coordinate and submit tax rulings; advise on transfer pricing considerations and documentation.

• Provide guidance on estate duty and related planning within policy and risk appetite.

• Build strong internal stakeholder relationships; upskill teams on processes and compliance standards.

• Track risk, controls, and deadlines; maintain audit-ready files and defend positions confidently.

What You Bring

• CA(SA) with a Master’s in Taxation (or equivalent advanced tax qualification).

• Proven capability in tax opinions/legal writing, tax accounting, and end-to-end SARS engagements.

• Hands-on experience with disputes (objections/appeals/ADRs), VDPs, and rulings.

• Strong grasp of corporate income tax across companies, individuals, trusts; confident with provisional tax.

• Working knowledge of transfer pricing principles and documentation; exposure to estate duty helpful.

• Clear, concise communicator who can simplify complexity for non-tax stakeholders.

• Ability to work on-site in Bedfordview (preference for candidates within ±30km for hybrid/on-site collaboration).

What Success Looks Like

• Zero missed deadlines; clean SARS outcomes with strong documentation.

• Robust, audit-ready tax files and accurate tax accounting at month- and year-end.

• Clear, defensible positions on complex matters; timely, practical guidance to the business.

• Reduced dispute cycle times and improved quality of submissions.

• Proactive horizon scanning—no surprises on legislative changes.

• Trusted relationships across Finance, Legal, and Operations.

Rewards & Challenges
You’ll gain broad exposure across entities and issues, real ownership, and a seat at the table for key decisions. The pace can be demanding—tight SARS timelines, evolving legislation, and complex queries—but you’ll have the platform and support to lead with confidence and make measurable impact.
