Mistakes Happen. What Matters Is How You Correct Them.
Rebuild Financial Compliance
Falling behind on tax compliance doesn’t make you dishonest it makes you human.
Businesses grow faster than their systems. Life gets complicated. Returns get missed. And soon, what started as a small oversight feels like a mountain of risk.
The Voluntary Disclosure Programme (VDP) exists for exactly that reason to help taxpayers come forward, correct past non-compliance, and regain good standing before SARS finds the issue first.
At Ronmat Advisory, we’ve guided clients through this process with discretion and professionalism, restoring both compliance and confidence.
Because sometimes the most strategic move you can make is to start over the right way.
Why It Matters
The VDP is not an amnesty it’s a legal agreement under the Tax Administration Act (Sections 225–233) that allows SARS to waive penalties and criminal prosecution for taxpayers who voluntarily disclose prior defaults.
Handled correctly, it offers three powerful benefits:
- Clean Slate: Regularise your tax position across years and taxes.
- Penalty Relief: Up to 100% remission of understatement penalties.
- Peace of Mind: Legal closure, with SARS’s formal acceptance on record.
Handled poorly, it can expose you further. That’s why expert guidance matters.
What We Do
We manage your voluntary disclosure end-to-end from first analysis to final agreement with SARS:
- Eligibility Assessment: Determine if your situation qualifies for the VDP (non-disclosure, underreporting, omitted income).
- Risk Analysis: Quantify exposure and identify which taxes and periods are affected.
- Confidential Preparation: Draft the disclosure in plain language, focusing on facts and cooperation.
- SARS Submission: File through official VDP channels under practitioner confidentiality.
- Negotiation & Settlement: Engage SARS for fair treatment and confirmation of relief.
- Post-Disclosure Support: Adjust systems and filings to prevent recurrence.
Everything is done confidentially and with your dignity intact.
Our Approach
- Listen: Understand the full history — what happened, why, and what’s unresolved.
- Diagnose: Analyse the tax exposure and its potential impact.
- Prepare: Build a factual, non-defensive disclosure supported by evidence.
- Submit: Handle the filing, negotiation, and formalisation with SARS.
- Rebuild: Put systems in place so you never find yourself here again.
