Best tax lawyers in Johannesburg: find options near you

It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with the Benaters, from the first interaction is has been a seamless experience. A great combination of personal interaction and efficient technology to book and exchange documents. The consultation with Shaun was invaluable and so informative. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services.

We received great services from Benaters Attorneys. They are effective and efficient. They communicated with us clearly and made sure we understood the process. Will gladly recommend them for your Notaries.

Keep up the great work work @Shaun!

Excellent, professional, on point, friendly service experienced from the reception desk, Roxanne, emails, phone calls and text messages. My wife and I will definitely approach you for all related business in future.

Having documents notarised at Benaters was a very efficient and well explained process. The booking system worked perfectly and the detailed instructions very helpful.

I have used their services and found them diligent and professional…. They handled my issue in a quick and effective manner and would not at all hesitate to recommend this professional firm

As a customer of TaxAssist I requested a tax directive. I was surprised by the charge, but Marius Higgs CEO of TaxAssist, waived the fee when it became clear that I wasn’t aware of the cost upfront.

Their professionalism and willingness to resolve the matter stood out for me. Communication was clear and the process was handled efficiently.

Thanks for the assistance and I will continue to use TaxAssist to handle my tax affairs!

I recently had the pleasure of working with TaxAssist and I cannot recommend them highly enough. As a small business owner needing to submit a tax return for the first time, I’ve been very nervous. Another company had quoted me a whopping R6,700 to file my return and insisted that accountants needed to sign off my financial statements. Fortunately, I discovered TaxAssist through Google Reviews and what a relief it has been!

From the moment I contacted TaxAssist, their service was a comfort. They quoted me only R750 per return, which was already a massive saving. When I enquired about whether they also optimise tax returns, they helped me set up a meeting with their CEO, Marius Higgs via their online booking system. Despite booking just half an hour, Marius generously spent a full hour with me, reviewing my financials and offering straightforward, honest advice, completely free of charge! Marius explained that there was no legal requirement for the accounting department to sign off on the returns (although TaxAssist does offer accounting services).

As the submission deadline approached, I received a reminder from SARS about potential penalties for late filing. In a slight panic, I called TaxAssist. Nomonde connected me with Marius, who promptly went online and filed my return. During this process, he discovered that I had mistakenly been filing my payroll under my personal account instead of my company’s. Marius offered to fix it for free and laid out a clear plan to address the issue.

I am thoroughly impressed by the lengths TaxAssist goes to in order to help small businesses like mine, especially those of us who are strapped for cash and rather inexperienced. Their willingness to go the extra mile and genuinely offer assistance speaks volumes about the kind of relationships they aim to build.

Another noteworthy point is their incredibly efficient system. Everything—submitting documents, signing mandates, requesting returns to be filed—can be done digitally. I didn’t have to print or scan a single document. I didn’t even have to make a digital printout of my company’s financial statements: Marius accessed my accounting app and did that for me. It’s evident that their streamlined processes enable them to provide top-tier service, as they aren’t bogged down by tedious admin work.

All in all, I am beyond grateful to have found TaxAssist. To Marius and the entire team: thank you for your outstanding service, genuine support, and expert advice. You’ve built a company that truly helps and fosters long-term relationships.

If you’re reading this and looking for reliable, efficient and cost-effective tax consultants, do yourself a favour and choose TaxAssist.

I have been battling to get feedback on my tax case for months. I have to call to actually get a response, even though I have not received any real answer regarding my case. I send email after email and don’t receive any feedback!!! I have gone as far as emailing the Owner/Director as well and still no feedback. I would not recommend their services at all.

Exceptional Service and Communication

I recently had my tax returns handled by TaxAssist, and I couldn’t be more pleased with their service. Their response time was amazing, and they communicated everything very clearly and also so cost effective for the level of service I received.

I highly recommend them for their professionalism and efficiency.

Thank you, TaxAssist, for making the process so smooth!

Great service. CEO literally took a Teams meetings with me at the beginning and helped me with my messy tax situation. Highly, recommend

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Zandile from LegalWise Johannesburg for her exceptional assistance. From the moment I reached out, she was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. She took the time to thoroughly explain my legal options, ensuring I fully understood every step of the process.

Her dedication and willingness to go the extra mile made a stressful situation much easier to navigate. Thanks to her guidance, I felt confident in the decisions I had to make. LegalWise is lucky to have such a committed and compassionate team member!

Thank you, Zandile, for your outstanding service. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal advice and support.

My policy number is 12418503 I was helped by sisi Jacky. I was very happy with her best customer service. Keep up the good work❤️

Had a great experience with this firm,the staff is very good at what they do

The service is outstanding. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking reliable, skilled, and compassionate legal representation.

Manner of approach ,they respect me .Ntokozo gave me all his time and care .Very helpful and very determined. I would highly recommend.

Really appreciate and love their service, kindness. Ntokozo gave me all his time and care, he is really good and thanks to him all things went well.

It’s they’re level of professionalism and work ethics. Also the empathy they displayed through

Perhaps get someone new on your WhatsApp line, who actually wants to do their job and assist people. I asked for help and all I received were one word answers and a person who seemed like they did not want to help. People may be seeking help and some even desperate, but that does not mean they should be subjected to rudeness.

They were very helpful and friendly..we are still to be assisted..I will then give a full review once everything is done.

Receptionist was on social and listening to music . Poor service

Looks like a good place in a safe area but i’ve never used their services

More than 20 years in service

Amien from The Tax Technician provided exceptional service and genuine customer care from start to finish. After years of unresolved business tax issues and penalties from SARS—made worse by previous consultants—Amien stepped in with professionalism, clarity, and expertise.

He took the time to understand my situation, explained every step in simple terms, and handled everything efficiently, including the CIPC deregistration. I was kept updated throughout, and the entire process was smooth and stress-free.

What truly stood out was Amien’s dedication, thorough knowledge of tax matters, and his affordable fees—especially considering the amount of work required. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for honest, expert, and client-focused tax services.

I had a great experience with The Tax Technician. He was extremely efficient, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire process. He provided clear guidance, ensuring that everything was handled correctly and on time. His assistance made a huge difference, and I truly appreciated his patience and expertise. I highly recommend The Tax Technician to anyone needing reliable and effective tax services!

I am so grateful to Amien (Tax technician) for assisting me with a complex personal filing year. With a move overseas, complicated tax residency challenges and pending tax returns, he was able to remit my penalties and he was able to get me a large refund! Amien explained everything clearly and ensured a smooth and stress free process. I appreciate the speed and efficiency and couldn’t be happier. Excellent work and I highly recommend them.

I can’t recommend this law firm enough, especially Jenny, who truly went above and beyond for us. After my Dad passed away suddenly, my Mom was completely lost. We just didn’t know where to start or what to do next. Jenny was more than just a lawyer; she was a compassionate human being through the toughest time of our lives. She met with my Mom directly, as my Mom hardly speaks any English, and showed more patience than I’ve ever seen in anyone. It didn’t matter that we weren’t wealthy clients or that there wasn’t much to gain for them from the estate – Jenny and her wonderful assistant Riana, along with the whole team, treated us like we mattered. We’re so grateful for all the support and kindness they’ve given us, and words just don’t seem enough. Thank you for everything Jenny!

Thank you so much Antoinette.
Your backing and peace of mind you gave my mother is so precious.
You will be part of our future.
May God Bless you Mam

Great place as the company offered to give free advice on drafting a will.Its outward looking,batho Pele,meaning people first before ching ching.Its hard to find legal companies like that in Boksburg no wander they were Voted the Best in Ekurhuleni, leading all the way like Toyota.

What ever you DO be very careful in dealing with these attorneys, especially if you are a buyer, we paid over R170 000 in transfer fees, and they were only interested in representing the seller. terrible service. incredibly terrible service. We had to spend over R69 000 to fix defects which was not disclosed, and then the money which was put in trust, well that ended up being a problem as well. Just be careful.

It took 4.3min to have an abrupt women answer the call. Then requesting to speak to a certain person was interrogated as to why I wanted to speak to this person. Seriously just to get confirmation that she was employed there at MMR. Then being put through to another person acting as if she was the person. Susquently they have lost a client as I will never give them work again.

I would like to express my most heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to Sophia Cloete from Bergman Moodley Attorneys Inc for her help in filing my application in such an expedited, professional and convenient way, which resulted in me finally obtaining my PR. I would like to thank you for your support and excellent services during the last years when my application for permanent residence started.

I am incredibly pleased with the actions, interventions, and professional advice BMA Inc has provided throughout. I would not have been able to do this alone, and I appreciate your high level of professionalism, dedication and for always prioritising your clients’ needs. Thank you so much for walking this journey with me.

Thanks to your expertise, understanding and patience throughout this process, I would once again like to thank you for your courteous professionalism and friendliness. BMA Inc is well versed in SA immigration law, and I have genuinely appreciated your timely services. Rest assured, I am recommending you to all potential clients without reservations.

Best Wishes,
Elisabeth

Exceptional service. Dean made a very stress full time a lot lighter, always the best advise and guidance. Personal thanks to Dean,
With Bregman Moodley Attorneys you are definitely in good hands, will highly recommend them.

We received excellent service and support from Mr. Brainin and assistant. He made a difficult situation more tolerable. His advice and guidance through the whole process was extremely helpful.
We would definitely recommend Bergman Moodley Attorneys Inc for professional legal assistance.

Appointing Bregman Moodley Attorneys confirmed that approaching the right executor to administer the deceased estate is the best decision one can ever make. I will be forever grateful for the patience and great advise through out the process till reaching a final conclusion. May your firm continue to extend the professional and understating approach to all that will come to your doors seeking assistance.

I can heartily recommend Bregman Moodley Attorneys Inc. As the executor of my late uncle’s estate, Mr Roy Bregman was efficient and knowledgeable, sensitive in the circumstances and always articulated his explanations of the legal processes simply and accurately. The estate was wrapped up as smoothly and speedily as such an undertaking can be, and his fees were very fair for the work involved.

Massively disappointed. I asked for assistance in making a payment arrangement and was told I have to do it myself. REALLY. What srrvice am I paying for. Paying R4000 a year for someone to do my tax return with no further assistance Waiting for 2 months for my issues to be resolved. E mailed the consultant dealing with my case. Promised to assist and call back. I’m still waiting for that phone call. Spoke to someone from their customers service department in December who promised to get someone to assist. She told me I would have to wait 2 days because they were having their Christmas party. I’m still waiting for that follow up call s month later. Going to cancel my membership. BIGGEST waste of money ever

Terrible experience I’ve had to wait more than 4 hours to get attended to and they repeatedly took out money from my account without my consent till this day I haven’t gotten that money back, I’ve been trying to cancel ever since. I still have more to share about my experience. Policy no 807705 I want my money back

I just want to say thank you to sisi Nonkululeko. That child has respect and always has a smile when i visit the branch and i like that she gets a legal advisor to assist you without waiting for a long and always offers refrements. My experience will legal and tax services has been wonderful so far.

Had to cancel the policy today after so many years with them. First time claiming and my matter was left hanging, no claim form received as promised to date. I had to follow up every time to get status updates, no sense of urgency and was being told excuses for delays, but no delays in debiting my account every month. My patience ran out. I didn’t get the benefit they claim to provide

I would like to give the biggest applause to counselor Shaun Schreiber.

Shaun is very dedicated to his duties as a prominent representative. He handled my predicament with such precision and made it his personal duty to make sure I survived it. I have never felt so safe under the circumstances.

Shaun will be the reason why I will have a healthy and long lasting relationship with the business judging from my past experience. We definitely need more counselors like Shaun. Promote him if needs be, increase his salary, whatever it takes to retain him. Because of this young man, I now feel super safe to be a part of your company.

Well done Shaun. Keep it the dedication.

Would not use again.

We used Schindlers to sell a property:
1. They are not always clear when they perform services and what the additional charges are. We were surprised as we only saw this once we got their final statement.

2. Rates refunds from the Municipality – municipality refunded amounts back to the attorney’s account (which Schindlers confirmed they received), but has then taken three and a half weeks (and counting) to pay back. Emails querying timelines are usually unanswered.

Worst experience using this law firm when purchasing our house. If you are working with someone called “Gina”, RUN.

She was unprofessional, incompetent and borderline incomprehensible at times. When going through the process of paying our deposit, I received the attached communications from Gina demanding payment. As the payment was a considerable amount of money and this was supposed to be a professional law firm, I expected more than WhatsApp messages in broken English from a stranger I’d never heard from before. Especially because we were advised (by Schindlers themselves, no less) that there was a high risk of fraud in the transfer process. When trying to call Schindlers, she would be “busy” and unable to come to the phone when we were trying to resolve the issue.

In addition, when coming in to sign the papers, there were multiple issues/errors in the documents that my husband and I luckily picked up before signing. There were never ending delays in our transfer. As the buyers, we had to push almost every week for an update and reasons as to why there was little to no movement in the process.

Overall, it was an incredibly disappointing and frustrating experience. I actively advise friends and family to stay away from this law firm due to their shoddy service and delivery. I hope you never have to experience what we did.

Schindlers has made my experience of purchasing a house very pleasant.
Thank you for your professionalism and the consent updates. I have been kept up to date from date of instruction opened till the registration of the house. The staff is friendly and humble. I experienced issues with the selling agent and seller of the property the Schindlers attorney’s were so helpful in resolving any disagreements between the seller and myself.

Poor service. 4 years and no feedback on a rates refund application. We paid Schindler’s to use a raterunner and upon following up with him were told no submission was made by Schindlers. We now have debt collectors wanting to issue us with a summons as a result of negligence on Schindler’s part

Putrid service
Schindlers service was absolutely poor. They don’t respond to emails. They actually made the transfer process of my house, very uneasy and disappointing.
Apart from the sellers being difficult. Schindlers made the process even worse, by wanting to pull our registration out of the deeds office and delay the transfer of our house.
Note to future home buyers: Do not take transfers attorney recommendations from your realtor.
Our realtor gave us the worst suggestion which was Schindlers.
