Corporate tax includes taxes paid by companies or close corporations, on their annual taxable income
Individuals who earn taxable income (subject to various exemptions and rebates) are also liable to pay income tax
South Africa has a residence-based tax system, which means residents are, subject to certain exclusions, taxed on their worldwide income.
By contrast, non-residents are taxed on their income from a South African source
Provisional tax is not a separate tax from income tax. It is a method of paying the income tax liability in advance, to ensure that the taxpayer does not have a large tax debt on assessment
It requires the taxpayers to pay at least two tax amounts in advance.
Provisional taxes are usually paid in February and August.
Dividends received by individuals from South African companies are generally exempt from income tax, but dividends tax at a rate of 20% is withheld by the entities paying the dividends to the individuals.
Declaring dividends will have some tax consequences and filing duties.
Let us handle it so you know it is done right by professionals.
Tax planning is not just about filling out tax forms and paying taxes.
Tax planning is an entire process where you use carefully designed and planned strategies to reduce your tax liability legaly.
Most businesses do not take advantage of these opportunities but it can give you a competitive advantage.
Due to the complexity and various forms of taxes governed through the South African Tax Laws many clients are overwhelmed and unsure about tax implications applicable in their personal capacities and businesses.
Through our tax expertise and experience we provide tax consulting to address any tax problems and questions our clients might have
It is compulsory for a business to register for VAT if the total value of taxable supplies made in any consecutive twelve month period exceeded or is likely to exceed R1 million
Non-resident suppliers of certain electronic services are also liable for compulsory VAT registration at the end of the month in which the total value of taxable supplies exceeds R1 million.
A business may also choose to register voluntarily for VAT if the value of taxable supplies made or to be made is less than R1 million, but has exceeded R50 000 in the past period of 12 months.
Many businesses run into cash flow problems because they didn’t manage their VAT liability properly—paying themselves too much or not at all from what was due to them according their accounting records.
We ensure the correct VAT liability is calculated from the accounting records provided to us. We also review client's VAT calculations. We perform VAT reconciliation to ensure accuracy and completeness of VAT liability and turnover declared, between SARS and the client.
A vendor is required to submit VAT returns and make payments of the VAT liabilities (or claim a VAT refund) on or before the 25th day or the last business day of the month following the month in which the vendor’s tax period ends.
VAT periods can range from monthly, 2 month period or 6 month period or annually.
SARS has various forms of communication.
Communication takes place through call centres, e file profiles, online booking system and visit of popup tax branches.
With a signed tax power of attorney clients can appoint us as the tax practitioners to act and communicate on behalf of our clients with regards to tax affairs.
We also update and maintain registered details of taxpayers with SARS.
We perform tax registrations for individuals.
Corporate entities are automatically registered for income tax when registered at the Company Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC).
We perform registration of e-filing profiles and tax representatives.
We can also perform registrations for Turnover Tax and perform application for tax exemption.
If a mistake was made, the Request for Correction process allows you the ability to correct a previously submitted return/declaration.
Non-compliance penalties and/or interest can be remitted in whole or in part through request for Remission process.
Where a taxpayer doe snot agree with an assessment the taxpayer may, request SARS to provide the reasons or lodge a dispute.
We provide all of the above services for taxpayers.
In instances where taxpayers are not compliant and have outstanding tax debt owing to SARS we can assist these taxpayers with payment arrangements and compromises
Taxpayers, both individuals and businesses, are required to be fully tax compliant through on time submission of returns and payments.
We assist taxpayers that are not tax compliant to become tax compliant again through our tax assessment and corrections processes.
