Common questions from Legal Professionals
What are the LSSA trust account requirements?
Attorneys must reconcile their trust accounts monthly, maintain a proper bookkeeping record, and ensure trust creditors are always covered. The Law Society (LSSA) requires an annual compliance audit. We prepare records that satisfy these requirements.
Must attorneys register for VAT?
Yes, if annual taxable turnover from legal fees exceeds R1 million. Legal services are standard-rated at 15%. Trust account receipts held on behalf of clients are not taxable turnover. We set up your VAT registration and returns correctly from the start.
Can you prepare the records needed for our annual LSSA compliance audit?
Yes. We maintain your practice bookkeeping records in a format specifically structured to support LSSA compliance audits. We work with your auditor or appointed assurance provider directly where needed.
