TAX ACCOUNTANTS - HOW OUR TEAM CAN HELP
Individual/Company Tax Returns
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
Tax Planning, Structuring and Consulting
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
Dividends Distribution & Tax Management
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.
Provisional Tax Returns (IRP 6)
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.

An employer must register with the South African Revenue Service (SARS) within 21 business days after becoming an employer, unless none of the employees are liable for normal tax. An employer, who needs to register with SARS, for PAYE and/or SDL, also needs to register to pay UIF contributions .Where an employer is liable to pay SDL, the employer must register with SARS and show the jurisdiction of the Skills Education and Training Authority in South Africa (SETA) within which they must be classified..

VAT Registrations
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.
VAT Calculations, Review and Reconciliations
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.

VAT periods can range from monthly, 2 month period or 6 month period or annually.

It must be declared and paid to SARS within seven days after the end of the month during which the amount was deducted.
EMP 501 and IRP5 Certificates
An employer must issue an employee with an IRP5/IT3(a) where remuneration is paid or has become payable.

This is done bi-annually.
