At Accfin, our applications have always been built on a deep understanding of tax law, SARS processes, and the practical difficulties faced by accounting and tax practitioners.

Over the years, we have identified a number of serious gaps and weaknesses in the Tax Administration Act and in the way SARS applies certain provisions. We have written articles on some of these issues, including points that many practitioners may not yet be aware of.

You can read these articles here: Tax Knowledge Centre — Accfin Software.

We are now taking this legal and technical knowledge to the next level by linking AI Taxman to Sky Tax.

This is a real game changer.

Instead of simply receiving SARS correspondence and trying to interpret it manually, you will be able to analyse SARS letters within a proper legal framework. AI Taxman can assist in identifying what SARS is asking for, whether the request is properly founded, and what legal remedies may be available.

Even more importantly, Sky Tax allows you to compare SARS assessments with your own records. This helps expose the exact differences between what SARS has assessed and what you believe the correct position should be.

This means you can move from guesswork to evidence-based tax dispute management.

The integration between AI Taxman and Sky Tax gives practitioners a powerful new way to deal with SARS letters, assessments, verifications, audits, objections, and requests for reasons.

Accfin has always believed that tax software should do more than capture forms. It should help practitioners understand the law, protect their clients, and respond properly when SARS gets it wrong.

Dear Client

If you have not looked at Sky recently, now is the time to do so.

Sky is not just a tax filing system. It is a full practice management and tax compliance environment designed around the way accounting firms actually work.

One of the major strengths of Sky is its document management system. Documents can be stored directly against the relevant taxpayer, transaction, return, assessment, SARS letter, or process. This means that the supporting information is not sitting in someone's email inbox, on a desktop, or in a disconnected folder. It is where it belongs — attached to the work being performed.

All SARS letters, assessments, correspondence, and related documents can be stored and managed inside Sky. This creates a proper audit trail and gives the firm a central record of what SARS issued, when it was received, and how it was dealt with.

Sky also includes a built-in CRM-style system called Sticky Notes. When SARS letters or assessments are received, the system can generate Sticky Notes so that staff know what has arrived and what needs attention. This helps prevent SARS correspondence from being missed, overlooked, or left sitting with the wrong person.

Our tax return preview and checking system is another game changer. Before a return is filed on eFiling, the return can be reviewed, checked, and controlled inside Sky. This gives the firm a proper internal review process and reduces the risk of incorrect or incomplete submissions.

Sky also makes provisional tax management far more efficient. Provisional tax can be processed in batch, allowing a firm to process up to a thousand provisional taxpayers in a few hours. This is the type of productivity improvement that can make a major difference during peak filing periods.

In addition, users can check whether clients have paid before the payment date. This gives the firm better control over provisional tax follow-ups and helps prevent last-minute surprises, missed payments, penalties, and unnecessary client frustration.

Because Sky is cloud-based and designed for the whole firm, every authorised person in the office can access the information they need. This improves efficiency, reduces bottlenecks, and allows managers and partners to see what is happening across client portfolios.

Sky also includes a fully integrated digital signature system, making it easier to obtain approvals and signed documents without having to move between disconnected platforms.

For firms managing large numbers of clients, Sky provides proper client portfolio management across the practice. You can see the status of work, correspondence, returns, assessments, provisional tax, payments, and follow-ups in one system.

These are the features that make Sky stand out: proper document management, SARS correspondence tracking, Sticky Notes, return preview and checking, batch provisional tax processing, payment monitoring, digital signatures, and firm-wide portfolio control.

The result is a more organised, efficient, and controlled tax department.

Sky has been built by Accfin with a deep understanding of tax practice, SARS processes, and the practical pressures faced by accounting firms. It is designed to give your firm better control, better records, better visibility, and better outcomes.

We invite you to take a fresh look at Sky and see how it can improve the way your firm manages tax compliance.
