The tax season timeline explained
SARS opens tax season for individuals around July each year, with separate deadlines for non-provisional and provisional taxpayers. Filing early avoids the last-minute rush and speeds up any refund. We prepare returns from records we keep current all year, so submission is quick once the season opens.
Handling a SARS verification request
SARS may select a return for verification and request supporting documents. Responding promptly with organised records usually resolves it without issue. Because we keep client documentation properly filed, we can respond to a verification quickly and keep your account moving.
VAT registration: mandatory vs voluntary
Registration becomes compulsory once taxable turnover passes R1 million in a 12-month period, but voluntary registration is possible from R50,000. Voluntary registration can let you claim input VAT, though it brings extra admin. We help you weigh the pros and cons for your business.
