Who it's for

You already know enough. You just need the right words.

TaxGnosis is not a filing service. It's the plain-language reference that turns what you already understand about your money into something SARS can actually work with.

01

People who are capable — but stuck on the language

You understand your own finances. You know what you earn, what you spend on your business, what you put away for retirement. The problem isn't ability — it's that SARS writes in a language that seems designed to confuse you. Source codes. Fringe benefits. Inclusion rates. You could absolutely handle your own tax return if someone just explained what those words mean.

TaxGnosis translates every concept into plain language, with a real calculation behind it. No jargon. No guessing. You do the work yourself — and you do it right.

  • Every tax term explained the way a friend would explain it
  • Calculators that show every step, not just the answer
  • Printable records so you can see exactly what you're submitting
02

Business owners keeping the accountant bill reasonable

You use an accountant — and you should. But you're also a business owner, which means the less time your accountant spends explaining the basics to you, the lower your bill. The more accurate the numbers you hand over, the fewer corrections they have to make.

TaxGnosis gives you the working knowledge to check your own calculations before they land on your accountant's desk. VAT 201 templates, PAYE and payroll figures, provisional tax estimates — done properly, with the right SARS numbers behind them. You arrive prepared. Your accountant spends their time on the work that actually needs expertise.

  • VAT 201 working template, printable and ready to verify
  • PAYE, UIF and SDL calculator for payroll accuracy
  • Provisional tax estimates so there are no surprises in August
03

Accounting firms training the next generation

New graduates arrive with theory. They've studied the legislation, passed the exams, and can recite the rules. What they haven't done yet is apply any of it to a real client with a real IRP5 and a real SARS notice on the desk.

TaxGnosis bridges that gap. Interns and junior staff can work through actual tax calculations — individual, company, trust, VAT — with the correct SARS rates behind every number and a plain-language explanation of why each step works the way it does. It's the practical companion to the theory they already know. When they're unsure, they can check. When they need to explain something to a client, they have the words.

  • All modules — individual, company, trust, VAT and estate agent
  • Real SARS tables updated after each Budget Speech
  • Firm licensing from 5 seats — one subscription for the whole team
