ABOUT US
About Nexa Tax
Nexa Tax is a boutique tax advisory practice based in Johannesburg. Our mission is to give small businesses, directors and professionals the quality of tax advice usually reserved for large organisations.
Why we exist
Most small businesses and professionals don't have a tax team. They deal with SARS, structuring decisions and growth plans on their own, often without advice that is clear, practical and commercially sound. Nexa Tax exists to change that.
Our expertise
- Cross-border and African tax
- Transaction structuring and tax due diligence
- Transfer pricing and intercompany arrangements
- Income tax and VAT compliance
- SARS audits, objections and disputes
- Tax risk and governance
Our values
Integrity
We give honest, independent advice, including when it is not what you hoped to hear.
Clarity
We explain tax in plain language so you understand every decision.
Practicality
We weigh the legislation against your business goals and give advice you can act on.
Confidentiality
We treat your information with the care it deserves.
