After some brain growths have been removed, I now remember again just how precious life is.
While I'm allowing my brain to recover after the operation, I'm also doing my best to help each of you.
Please contact Myra. She will be able to help you with whatever you might need until I'm recovered.
Please remember that we all have to work together and she can help if she knows that you need information and submissions.
I am unfortunately not at such a place in my mind where I will be able to give her information. You will have to please help me and together we can keep South African Revenue Service (SARS) happy.

Yes, again — we survived SARS.

We laughed, we filed, we panicked (just a little), and we triumphed.

To all our wonderful clients:
We genuinely enjoyed your company — even if SARS insists, we’ll be seeing more of you (hello, audits 👀).

The deadline came. The deadline went.
We’re still standing. You’re still compliant.
Thanks, everyone!

— The Archer Team, still caffeinated, still compliant, still smiling.

Celebrating 25 Years at Archer Tax Services

Twenty-five years. A quarter of a century. Nearly half of my life.
That’s how long I’ve had the privilege of serving at Archer Tax Services.

When I first started 25 years ago, I never imagined that clients would become friends, and that this journey would shape so much of who I am today. It’s been a path marked by growth, trust, and countless shared milestones.

Today, as I reflect on this moment, I carry both pride and gratitude—and a quiet wish that I could celebrate it with my dad by my side.

To all our clients—past, present, and future—thank you for your continued support, trust, and loyalty.
You’ve made my 25-year journey at Archer Tax Services more meaningful than words can express.

Here’s to the relationships we’ve built, the milestones we’ve shared, and the road ahead. 💙

DO NOT ASSUME THAT YOU WILL BE PRE-ASSESSED IF YOU WERE IN PREVIOUS YEARS. This is an e-mail on of my clients received:

Why Your Assessment Is NOT Automatically Calculated This Year
SARS has identified one or more of the following situations in your tax profile:
• Rental/business income or expenses
• Commission or foreign income
• Trust income
• Allowance(s) received
• Other expenses claimed
• Capital Gains Tax
• Changed postal or physical address
• Invalid banking details
• Open audit or verification case
• Changes you made to your Auto Assessment in previous tax year
• Other reasons

Please contact us to make sure your tax is correct and submitted.

Nothing about penalties or moving the cut-off date? We'll done SARS 🙄

SARS’ systems have been hit with glitches and downtime, as multiple tax deadlines land on the same day the service started rolling out auto assessments.

📢 IMPORTANT: Understand SARS Auto-Assessments

SARS has communicated the following:
“An auto-assessment is an assessment that we automatically calculate based on information that SARS already has, submitted by third parties like employers, financial institutions, and medical aid schemes.”

This means your auto-assessment is based ONLY on data provided by third parties. It does NOT include personal claims or deductions that you might qualify for.

Examples of commonly overlooked items:
• Additional medical expenses not covered by your medical aid
• Travel claims
• Commission earners often use personal items for work or work from home
• Donations to registered Public Benefit Organisations (PBOs)
• Retirement annuities where your broker omitted your tax number

🛑 Your Responsibility Still Stands
Even if you've received an auto-assessment, it's your obligation to check that all income and claimable expenses are correctly reflected. You could miss out on valuable deductions—and potentially face penalties—if you don’t verify.

👉 Don’t assume it’s all handled. Double-check. Submit corrections where necessary. It’s worth it.
