Income Tax Compliance Review Agent

The Income Tax Compliance Review Agent analyses invoices, contracts and ledger detail against the Income Tax Act and VAT Act. It flags deductibility and classification risks, then prepares the schedules that support your ITR14 and IRP6 calculations, ready for review and submission on eFiling.

The difference

From 3-4 weeks to 2-4 hours

Your tax team moves from gathering and ticking to judgement calls and tax planning, with each provisional and year-end cycle finished well ahead of the deadline.

Indicative figures. We measure your own baseline in the first fortnight so the numbers you see are yours.

A review that comes round every few months

Provisional tax and ITR14 reviews recur two to three times a year for every company. The agent makes each cycle faster and consistent, rather than a scramble through the ledger.

Fewer penalty surprises

Underestimating provisional tax or understating income carries penalties under the Tax Administration Act. The agent ranks the most material risks so they are fixed before the return is prepared.

A defensible trail for SARS

Every finding links back to its source document. When SARS opens a verification or audit, your evidence is already assembled.

Capabilities

Turn weeks of year-end tax review into hours, with every finding sourced.

Built for corporate tax managers, financial accountants and tax practitioners preparing ITR14 and IRP6 provisional tax returns for South African companies.

Income Tax Act verification

Checks transactions against your tax playbook for deductibility under the general deduction formula and prohibited deductions, capital versus revenue treatment and capital allowances, and confirms consistent VAT treatment.

Invoice and expense classification

Analyses invoice line items and GL coding to find misclassified expenses, missing supporting documents and items needing a tax adjustment before the return is prepared.

Regulatory requirement mapping

Draws on your knowledge base of tax playbooks, SARS interpretation notes and internal policies, so every transaction is tested against your own requirements.

Provisional tax and year-end support

Processes hundreds of documents at once to build the tax computation schedules behind your IRP6 estimates and ITR14.

Risk flagging and prioritisation

Ranks issues by severity, such as items that could lead to understatement penalties under the Tax Administration Act, so your team fixes the most material first.

Auditable compliance trail

Links every finding to its source document with citations, creating a defensible record for SARS verifications, audits and internal review.

How it works

From your systems to a result you sign off

Your tax manager reviews and signs off the computation, and outputs land ready for review and submission on eFiling.

Deployment

Runs inside the tools your team already uses

The same agent and the same cited output, delivered three ways: through the AI assistant you have rolled out, on a model you host yourself, or inside your own software.

Model Context Protocol

In the frontier assistant you already pay for

We publish the agent as an MCP server. Add it as a connector and your team calls it from the chat they use every day, with no new tool to learn.
