Sky Tax + AI TaxmanFrom SARS Letter to Draft Response in One Workflow
Sky Tax receives the SARS correspondence. AI Taxman analyses the issue, helps identify the relevant tax law and procedure, prepares a structured draft response and gives the practitioner a practical checklist of what to do next — without leaving the taxpayer's Sky Tax workflow.
From SARS Correspondence to Action
One workflow, from the letter arriving to the practitioner signing off.
- Step 1
SARS Letter Received
Sky Tax downloads or stores the SARS correspondence against the taxpayer.
- Step 2
Send to AI Taxman
With a simple action from the taxpayer workflow, the SARS letter can be analysed by AI Taxman.
- Step 3
Analyse the Issue
AI Taxman assists with identifying the tax issue, relevant legislation, SARS procedure and matters requiring attention.
- Step 4
Draft Response + Checklist
AI Taxman prepares a structured first draft and a practical checklist of the steps and supporting information that may be required.
- Step 5
Practitioner Reviews
The tax practitioner reviews the facts, law, supporting documents and final response before submission.
Analyse SARS Assessments Too
When a SARS assessment is received, the practitioner can use the integrated workflow to assist in comparing the assessment with the information and calculations held in Sky Tax. Potential differences can then be identified for investigation instead of relying purely on manual checking.

Why the Integration Matters
Tax practitioners spend a significant amount of time reading SARS correspondence, determining what SARS is asking for, researching the relevant law and deciding what must happen next.
Sky Tax already manages the taxpayer and the tax production process.
AI Taxman brings tax research, analysis and drafting assistance into that workflow.
Instead of starting from a blank page every time SARS sends a letter, the practitioner has a structured starting point.
The result is a faster and more consistent process while the practitioner remains responsible for the final professional judgement and submission.
See the integration in action — SARS letter, analysis, draft response and checklist.
Spend less time starting from scratch
SARS correspondence can move directly from the taxpayer's Sky Tax workflow into AI Taxman for analysis and preparation of a first draft.
This reduces time spent manually interpreting correspondence, researching routine issues and preparing initial responses.
Bring tax knowledge into the production workflow
AI Taxman assists the practitioner with researching and analysing relevant legislation, procedure and tax issues while working on the actual taxpayer matter.
The research process becomes part of the tax workflow rather than a separate exercise.
Let junior staff do more — while senior staff stay in control
Junior tax staff can use AI Taxman to understand SARS correspondence, research the issue and prepare a stronger first draft.
Managers, partners and senior tax practitioners can then concentrate on review, judgement, difficult issues and strategy rather than starting every matter themselves.
AI Taxman Is Also a Learning Tool
Every SARS query can become a learning opportunity.
Instead of simply giving junior staff the answer, AI Taxman can help them understand why a particular section of the legislation or procedure is relevant.
This means junior staff can learn while working on real taxpayer matters.
Over time, the practice can build stronger tax knowledge throughout the team rather than keeping that knowledge concentrated only with the most senior practitioners.

It Doesn't Just Save Time. It Changes Who Can Do the Work.
Traditionally, difficult SARS correspondence often moves immediately to the tax manager, partner or most experienced person in the practice.
AI Taxman can change that workflow.
A junior or intermediate staff member can do the first level of investigation, research and drafting with AI assistance.
The senior practitioner can then review the work, correct the reasoning where necessary and make the final professional decision.
This can improve staff productivity, reduce bottlenecks and allow experienced practitioners to spend more time on the matters where their judgement is genuinely required.
AI assists. The practitioner remains in control.
AI Assistance. Professional Judgement.
AI Taxman is designed to assist tax professionals with research, analysis and drafting. The practitioner must still verify the taxpayer's facts, the relevant legislation, SARS guidance, supporting authority, calculations and the final response before it is submitted. Professional judgement remains with the tax practitioner.
Already Using Another Tax System?
AI Taxman can also be used as a standalone tax research and drafting tool.
This means practitioners who currently use another tax production system can still use AI Taxman.
For Sky Tax users, however, the advantage is greater: the tax production system and AI tax intelligence work together within the taxpayer workflow.
