The company had only one project last year, with just two payments, resulting in very low transaction activity. However, I need a signed three-year financial statement from a bookkeeper (not an auditor) by Saturday. Since I became a director last year, I have maintained well-organized records using accounting software, with all expenses supported by source documents. However, I am concerned that the previous director may not have kept thorough financial records in earlier years. Additionally, the company is not currently paying salaries.
Good day SARS requested tax returns from my late husband. I do not know how to go about getting these documents. I am the executor of the estate. My late husband and I were co owners of the property. I've appointed lawyers (David's and Partners) to handle the estate for me,in order for me to have sole ownership of the property,which is fully paid. SARS requested outstanding tax returns of my late husband in order for them to proceed with the process. I'm I talking to the right people? Please help,thank you.

I am a Belgian taxpayer holding a four-year retirement visa for South Africa. In , I purchased a property in Durban North for 7.5 million Rands, which I rent out via Booking.com. The rental income is used to cover taxes, rates, levies, the Ethekwini Metro bill, and property maintenance. Additionally, I plan to open a savings account and transfer my retirement lump sum to generate monthly interest. I am looking for an accountant to help me optimize my tax liabilities and gain a better understanding of South African tax regulations.
