Strategic readiness, not reactive defence.
Tax disputes are no longer rare events. Across Africa and South Africa, tax authorities are increasing scrutiny, particularly in transfer pricing and cross-border structures.
When disputes arise, most businesses are forced to coordinate between multiple advisors. We take a different approach.
Regan van Rooy brings together tax expertise and senior litigation capability in one integrated team to manage disputes from audit through to resolution. A first-of-its-kind integrated tax and litigation offering in South Africa.
Tax disputes typically arise when:
Tax authorities challenge transfer pricing arrangements
Cross-border transactions are reassessed
Documentation is considered insufficient
Positions taken in returns are disputed
These situations escalate quickly. What starts as an audit can become a prolonged and costly dispute if not managed strategically from the outset.
The key difference is not whether a dispute happens, but how early and how well it is managed.
Most firms operate in silos:
Our model integrates both from the start.
You work with:
One strategy. One team. One outcome.
We support clients across every stage:
