Historic Diesel Refund Review

We review eligible prior periods to establish whether qualifying diesel usage may have been underclaimed or not claimed at all, and whether the supporting evidence exists to support a review.

Historic reviews are evidence-led. Where records cannot support a period, we say so rather than inflating an opportunity that cannot be defended.

Where records do support a review, we prepare reconciled working papers that show how each qualifying litre was derived.

What this service includes

  • Historic supplier invoices
  • Previous submissions
  • Existing refund claims
  • Fuel consumption records
  • Potentially missed qualifying usage
  • Evidence availability
  • Previous SARS correspondence

How the engagement runs

  1. Step 1

    Period scoping

    Identify which prior periods are within scope and worth reviewing.

  2. Step 2

    Evidence test

    Establish what supporting records genuinely exist for each period.

  3. Step 3

    Reconstruction

    Reconcile purchases, storage and usage for the supported periods.

  4. Step 4

    Working papers

    Prepare schedules capable of supporting a review request.

Historic recovery is not guaranteed. Outcomes depend on applicable rules, qualifying activities and the supporting evidence available for each period.
