AI Taxman for every South African tax practitioner
South African tax is difficult and constantly changing. AI Taxman gives your team access to the Acts, interpretation notes, notable court cases, practical tax research and SARS drafting assistance—standalone with any tax software or through its brand-new integration with Sky Tax.
Save time on today's matter. Build your team's tax capability for tomorrow.
No change to your existing tax software is required. AI Taxman can be used independently by Sky Tax users and by practitioners using other tax-production products.
Find the relevant tax information faster
Research provisions of the Tax Administration Act, Income Tax Act, Value-Added Tax Act, interpretation notes and notable court cases contained in the AI Taxman knowledge base.
Start with a structured first draft
Analyse SARS correspondence, identify legal and procedural considerations, and prepare letters, objections and other responses for professional review.
Learn while doing real tax work
Use actual client matters to develop practical tax knowledge. Junior staff can prepare and learn while managers and partners concentrate on review, judgement and strategy.

“I followed the link and tried a few options, to say the least… Very impressive. It's going to make Tax administration much quicker.”
“Firstly, I am totally and utterly blown away with my new subscription to AI tax. I threw some curve balls at it and bang in seconds came back with the answers. Love the CPD feature – brilliant addition.”
“Using AI Taxman to draft letters for SARS has been a huge help in creating professional documents that reference the right legal sections and precedents, making SARS officials take the correspondence more seriously and take the time to review your case thoughtfully instead of offering a rushed, automated response.”
“I use AI Taxman, and it's such a great system! SO informative and I love using it! Thank you Mark!”
We are documenting additional practitioner experiences, including verified time savings and staff-learning benefits. Further case studies will be published once the results and quotations have been confirmed.
