Alternative resolution proceedings introduced much earlier in dispute process.
The rising number of tax disputes with the South African Revenue Service and the time and money it takes to resolve them has resulted in a widely welcomed proposed legislative change.
Generally, when taxpayers and Sars chose the ADR route after spending a lot of time and money, most appeals were resolved. The aim is to improve the efficiency of the dispute resolution process by introducing ADR at the initial stage of the dispute.During the ADR process, Sars and the taxpayer engage in a roundtable discussion and exchange documents early in a dispute.
There are thousands of objections, but not all decisions are appealed, and of those that are, not all proceed to ADR, he added.According to Rossato, the rules and regulations of the ADR process will also have to be amended. Currently, the ADR process at the appeal stage must be concluded within 90 days. Another uncertainty is whether the taxpayer can still appeal if the ADR process is unsuccessful at the objection phase.
