What we o�er

Summary of services

AJM is a specialist tax consulting firm which o�ers a wide

spectrum of local and international tax related services. Our

areas of speciality include income tax, VAT, estate duty and

tax administration.

The increased complexity of the South African tax landscape

has over time necessitated such a specialist approach, and

against this background AJM provides its clients practical

solutions to achieve their commercial goals.

AJM has an excellent record of successfully handling

tax disputes which we attend to in the Tax Board and

Tax Court on behalf of our clients, in conjunction with

their attorneys and/or auditors.

Our team’s expertise includes restructuring of a�airs,

which ensures that existing commercial and family

structures may be restructured in a responsible yet tax

e�cient manner.

As registered tax practitioners with a variety of

academic and professional qualifications, AJM is the

designated firm to provide opinions concerning the tax

consequences of identified transactions.
