Settle the estate. Recover tax value.

What is Estate TaxBack?

Estate TaxBack gives executors and families practical tax support for deceased estates. Stratfin helps clarify the final return position, review outstanding or prior tax years, organise SARS documentation, and move the tax work forward so the estate can progress with fewer loose ends.

Why estates use it

1

Finalise tax affairs

Bring the deceased taxpayer profile, final return requirements, and open SARS items into a clear working view.

2

Resolve older years

Review outstanding or prior-year submissions so executors understand what still needs to be completed.

3

Support estate closure

Organise tax documents and SARS follow-up so the estate can move forward with fewer loose ends.

Where Estate TaxBack helps

Final tax returns

Support for final tax return requirements where a deceased estate needs tax affairs brought up to date.

Outstanding tax years

Older or missed submissions can be reviewed so executors understand what still needs to be resolved.

Estate documentation

We help identify the tax documents, SARS notices, and supporting records needed for the estate tax process.

Where SARS raises questions or requests supporting documents, Stratfin helps prepare the response path.

Executor guidance

The process gives executors a practical view of what is needed, what is missing, and what should happen next.

Tax position review

Income, investments, allowances, medical items, and previous filing history can be checked where relevant.

A practical checklist before the tax work starts.

The process

1

Understand the estate position

We look at what has already been filed, which tax years are open, and what SARS or the executor still needs.

2

Prepare the tax pack

The relevant records are organised into a practical document pack for final returns, corrections, or SARS queries.

3

Move toward closure

Stratfin assists with the tax steps needed to help the estate move from uncertainty toward finalisation.
