If your business is VAT-registered in South Africa, chances are you’re entitled to claim back more than you think. The challenge? VAT recovery is complex, technical, and often mishandled. That’s where MaxProf comes in.
We’ve helped 100% of our clients successfully recover VAT, many for amounts they didn’t even know they were owed. And we do it all with zero disruption to your operations.

What is VAT Recovery - and Why It Matters
VAT recovery is the process of reclaiming overpaid or underclaimed VAT from SARS. Whether due to errors, missed input claims, or incorrect applications of VAT legislation, many businesses unknowingly lose out on significant sums.
Getting it right means more than just compliance—it can free up valuable cash flow and protect you from future SARS scrutiny.
Our Proven Process for VAT Recovery
MaxProf specializes in retrospective VAT reviews, looking back up to five years to identify unclaimed amounts. Our methodology is tailored to South African legislation and refined through decades of work with public and private sector clients.
Here’s how we do it:
1. In-Depth Transactional Analysis
We conduct a thorough audit of your VAT data, reviewing:
- Input VAT claims
- Zero-rated and exempt supplies
- Imported services
- Complex sector-specific transactions
Our proprietary system identifies discrepancies quickly and accurately.
2. No-Risk, Performance-Based Fees
If we don’t recover anything—you pay us nothing. It’s that simple.
3. Full SARS Submission & Support
We prepare and submit all documentation to SARS on your behalf and manage the entire process until the refund is paid into your account.

We train your staff along the way to strengthen your VAT processes and ensure long-term compliance.
