About Us
Tax filing that actually works for South Africans
Tax Chommie exists because filing your own tax return in South Africa is harder than it should be. We built an AI-powered platform that reads your documents, finds every deduction you're owed, and guides you through a SARS-compliant filing — without the jargon.
Why we built this
Most South Africans either overpay SARS every year because they don't know what they're entitled to claim, or they pay a practitioner a few thousand rand for a return that should take twenty minutes with the right documents in hand. Neither felt right to us.
Tax Chommie reads your payslips, IRP5s, medical aid and retirement annuity certificates directly — the same way a diligent practitioner would — and checks every figure against SARS's own source codes and this year's official tax tables. If a document is blurry, for the wrong tax year, or isn't actually a tax document at all, we tell you immediately instead of guessing.
And because it's still your return, nothing is ever filed without you reviewing and confirming it first.
What makes us different
AI-powered, not AI-vague
Our AI reads your actual payslips, IRP5s and certificates — classifying, extracting, and cross-checking every SARS code against the official 2025/2026 tax tables before a single figure reaches your return.
POPIA compliant by design
Your documents and personal information are handled under South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act — with a clear data-retention policy and full control to export or delete your data at any time.
No lock-in
There's no multi-year contract and no penalty for leaving. Download your data whenever you like, and cancel your subscription without jumping through hoops.
Built for South Africa
Not a generic global product — every rule, rebate, code and deadline in Tax Chommie is written for the South African Income Tax Act and SARS's own filing calendar.
