Tax Diagnostic

The WGL Tax Diagnostic is a focused review of your SARS position, selected tax type or compliance history. It helps identify risks, inconsistencies, missed opportunities and priority corrective actions before problems become more expensive.

  • Inputs: SARS statements of account, tax returns, assessments, accounting records, bank statements, payroll records and SARS correspondence where relevant.
  • WGL work: review compliance status, identify inconsistencies, reconcile selected balances, review penalties and interest, prepare a document checklist and recommend corrective steps.
  • Client receives: tax risk summary, compliance status review, reconciliation summary, priority action plan and recommended next steps.

How WGL works

  • Discovery and scoping: confirm context, urgency, records available, intended output and decision need.
  • Information request: issue a clear checklist of records, documents, system access or supporting evidence.
  • Review and analysis: apply professional judgement and use analytics and AI responsibly where appropriate.
  • Draft preparation: prepare working papers, draft reports, schedules, models, registers, packs or documentation.
  • Professional review: review important outputs for clarity, consistency, accuracy and professional defensibility.
  • Client discussion: discuss findings, assumptions, limitations and next steps.
  • Final deliverables: issue the agreed report, pack, schedule, model, filing support or documentation.

Responsible AI and professional review

WGL uses AI and analytics to improve speed, structure, pattern recognition, drafting and reporting. AI does not replace professional judgement. Important outputs remain subject to human review, client-specific facts, confidentiality requirements and appropriate professional scepticism.
