ABOUT US
Capital Allowances Specialists
Few people globally do what we do – and even fewer do it in South Africa. Our founder, Vas Naidoo is one of a handful of dual-qualified capital allowances specialists globally.
With over two decades of experience advising leading property funds, banks and developers, we help clients unlock hidden tax relief in their capital projects – often in places their accountants or tax advisors overlook.
Key Projects
- Capital allowances review for a large investment bank’s R760m refurbishment of existing Head Quarters.
- Tax relief strategy for a private investment company’s student housing portfolio.
- Capital allowances optimisation for a large property fund following REIT deregistration.
We are fully independent and operate to the highest ethical standards, registered with:
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)
The South African Institute of Tax Professionals (SAIT)
SARS as a tax practitioner
Our professional indemnity is provided by The Hollard Insurance Company Limited.
Our dual skillset in tax and quantity surveying means we can:
- Identify allowances that others miss
- Translate building costs and drawings into compliant tax claims
- Substantiate claims with the right documentation and tax case references for SARS
- Maximise claims even with limited cost records or complex builds
We also offer transactional support:
- Purchasing commercial property? We’ll review agreements to ensure allowances aren’t restricted.
- Selling property? We’ll help protect against clawbacks through correct contract clauses.
How We Add Value
Our standalone capital allowances service complements your existing tax advisors. We work alongside accountants and legal teams to support — not compete with — their work.
We add value by:
- Applying legislation rigorously to claim the maximum tax relief you’re entitled to
- Using quantity surveying skills to comprehensively analyse costs, drawings and specifications
- Drawing on extensive tax case knowledge (SA & UK) to support and defend claims
- Preparing robust documentation that stands up to SARS scrutiny
