The unique strengths of Konsise vs other South African tax solutions.
Real-time SARS notifications via email
Each instance of SARS correspondence triggers real-time email notifications through Konsise, enabling swift access via a direct link to the document on our platform. This streamlined process enhances accessibility, facilitating improved team collaboration by extending notifications to all preparers and reviewers associated with a specific tax filing.
Team access to SARS correspondence
All correspondence related to SARS is automatically associated with the pertinent tax filing, granting your team full access to it. The dates of correspondence, alongside the option to download it, are also visible. The Konsise tax software, in particular, empowers entire tax teams by providing them with access to all SARS correspondence related to integrated tax types. With SARS issuing correspondences and statements of accounts through eFiling, our software seamlessly retrieves this information, ensuring that it reaches your team promptly via email.
Automated storage of SARS correspondence
All SARS-related correspondence is appended to the corresponding tax return and is then dispatched with a notification to ensure that it is brought to your attention. In addition, we deposit it into your Konsise inbox, which is easily filterable by date or time period.
Easy access to SARS correspondence
Our comprehensive system guarantees that all types of correspondence, such as statements of account, VAT verifications, assessments, general letters, and corporate tax verifications, are meticulously recorded and filed together with tax returns. Besides, we alert our clients with notifications to prevent any oversight, ensuring that all crucial documents are accounted for and readily accessible within our Konsise platform. Our system provides an efficient and reliable way for businesses to manage their tax-related paperwork, reducing the risk of errors and increasing compliance with regulatory requirements
Effortlessly monitor and automatically download Statement of Account
Integrating the Statement of Account (SOA) with SARS provides a convenient way to access all the relevant information on the SoA, including the value of submissions and payments. This eliminates the need for manual login into the eFiling system to check for the accuracy of submissions. The tool enables easy management of the current statement value, saving valuable time for individuals and teams in the tax workflow.
Automated SARS payment & submission tracking
Trackers are populated automatically with data directly from SARS, allowing users to quickly filter information by country, entity type (individual, company or trust), tax category, and date range. Users can easily access a complete summary of each tax filing, including the preparer, reviewer, uploaded documents, and any related SARS correspondence with just one click. This information can be easily exported to Excel for a streamlined view of all returns.
VAT Submission determination tab
Konsise offers an efficient solution for filing tax returns through its VAT submission determination tab. With this feature, users can easily determine output VAT and input VAT and generate a summary report to be submitted directly from the software.
Summarised oversight of all clients
Konsise can proficiently manage tax obligations for companies, individuals and trusts with diverse tax types.
Immediate oversight of all tax filings
Once the software has identified all the entities required, such as companies, individuals and trusts, it can automatically create a “tax card” in Konsise, outlining the tax filing obligations. A tax card in Konsise is created for every tax filing obligation, whether the entity is a company, trust or individual, giving users an easy-to-consume overview of current and upcoming deadlines.
Customisable review & sign off workflow
The review and sign-off feature can be customised to enable designated users to oversee the progression of the review process and ensure compliance with established procedures. This feature represents a valuable tool for tax teams seeking to optimise their tax preparation and review process while preserving the accuracy and compliance of their tax returns.
Encrypted documentation storage
Konsise Drive is a cloud-based location with full encryption, allowing users to store and manage relevant documentation, computations, reconciliations, and client communications in a secure environment. This platform lets users conveniently drag and drop any necessary files into the drive, ensuring a streamlined and efficient experience. With Konsise Drive, you can confidently store and manage crucial data while maintaining the highest level of security and privacy.
