Why do I need to transfer my e-filing profile?

For Slap. to submit your return, we will need access to your e-filing profile.

Do I need to know anything about tax to sign up?

Absolutely not.

Slap. was designed for people just like you, who needs a helping hand when it comes to their personal tax.

I was auto-assessed by SARS. What now?

If you were auto-assessed by SARS, you should still sign up with Slap We will review your assessment & ensure everything is in order.

The auto-assessment window is very short, and thus many don't get much back, as not all deductions will have been taken into account. Signing up with Slap will ensure that, if you do get auto-assessed, everything will be in place to get as much back as possible.

Why should I pay monthly instead of once off?

2. If you get auto-assessed by SARS, you will rest assured knowing Slap. is considering all possible deductions.
3. You will receive monthly tips & tricks that will help you get as much of a return back as possible.
4. You don't have to fork out a large sum of money once a year to submit your return.

Is my tax return checked before it's submitted?

Yes, before submission to SARS,  we personally review your tax return. While you're accountable for providing accurate figures, we scrutinize for consistency, flagging any apparent duplicates or omissions, and ensuring all pertinent questions are addressed.

Any unusual amounts will be clarified with you for accuracy. We aim to catch any errors before your tax return reaches SARS.
