Unlock hidden cash flow trapped in unclaimed VAT

VAT Recovery &
Compliance

Is your business or institution missing out on significant VAT refunds? Our specialised VAT recovery and compliance service identifies every legitimate claim, maximises your refunds from SARS, and ensures your future submissions are accurate and defensible.

Why VAT Recovery Matters

Every year, businesses lose out on recoverable VAT due to overlooked claims, miscalculations, or administrative errors. Left unchecked, this reduces cash flow and creates compliance risks.

At MBD Consulting, we specialise in identifying unclaimed VAT and ensuring your submissions are both accurate and compliant. Our contingency model means if we don’t find recoveries, you don’t pay.
