Taxbot is South Africa's AI Tax Research Assistant. Its category is professional South African tax research. The core promise: find a source-backed South African tax answer in seconds.

Tagline: Tax research you can rely on.

Responsible use: Taxbot accelerates research. The professional remains responsible for the final judgement.

## Who it is for

- Tax practitioners
- Tax lawyers
- CA(SA)s
- Accountants and accounting firms
- Corporate tax, finance and legal teams

Taxbot is not a do-it-yourself consumer tax product and not a refund tool. It does not file or submit returns to SARS and it is not SARS eFiling.

## How professionals use it

1. The professional asks a South African tax question and includes the relevant facts.
2. Taxbot retrieves the relevant South African authorities: legislation, SARS guidance and case law.
3. Taxbot explains the position and cites the sources it relied on.
4. The professional opens the sources and checks the reasoning.
5. The professional uses the answer as a starting point for their own professional response.

## What it replaces

Taxbot replaces moving between Google, the SARS website, legislation, PDFs, interpretation notes and case law to piece together one answer. Unlike a general AI assistant, Taxbot retrieves the South African authorities behind each answer and shows them, so the professional can inspect every source.
