Questions about tax
Who has to pay provisional tax?
Companies are automatically provisional taxpayers. Individuals become provisional taxpayers when they earn income that is not subject to PAYE, such as business, rental or significant investment income, above the thresholds SARS sets.
Provisional tax is not an extra tax. It is paying your expected annual tax in instalments: the first within six months of the start of your tax year, the second by the last day of the tax year, and an optional third top-up after year end.
When must I register for VAT?
VAT registration becomes compulsory once your taxable turnover exceeds the threshold set in the VAT Act in any twelve-month period, and you may register voluntarily above a lower turnover figure.
The thresholds are adjusted by National Treasury from time to time, so we confirm the current figures against your actual turnover before advising you to register. Registering too early creates admin you do not need; registering late creates penalties.
What happens if my returns are late?
SARS charges administrative penalties for outstanding returns, and these recur monthly until the returns are filed. Interest runs on unpaid tax separately.
Penalties can often be reduced or removed on request where there is a reasonable explanation, but only once the outstanding returns are actually filed. That is always the first step we take.
How do I check that an accountant is registered?
Anyone who gives tax advice or completes returns for payment in South Africa must be registered with SARS as a tax practitioner and belong to a recognised controlling body such as SAICA or SAIPA.
You can ask for the practitioner number and confirm membership with the controlling body directly. Ask us and we will give you ours in writing.
