Company income tax (ITR14)
Corporate returns prepared from proper AFS and filed on eFiling — at the 27% rate, or the lower Small Business Corporation rates if you qualify.
Tax & SARS Compliance
SARS handled. Deadlines met. Sleep restored.
Income tax, provisional tax, VAT and tax clearance for South African businesses and their owners — filed correctly, on time, with someone who'll deal with SARS so you don't have to.
What we handle
Every SARS obligation, covered
Personal income tax (ITR12)
Returns for directors, sole proprietors and provisional taxpayers — with every deduction you're actually entitled to.
Provisional tax (IRP6)
Both compulsory payments calculated and filed — end August and end February for February year-ends — plus the optional third top-up when it saves you interest.
VAT registration & returns
Registration when you need it, and VAT201s filed every period. Compulsory registration now applies from R2.3 million turnover (since 1 April 2026).
Tax compliance status
Tax clearance for tenders, contracts and emigration — and fixing whatever's blocking a compliant status.
SARS disputes & penalties
Objections, penalty remission requests and payment arrangements — handled properly, in the right format, on time.
Worth knowing in 2026
The VAT threshold just changed — most advice online is out of date
From 1 April 2026, compulsory VAT registration applies from R2.3 million in taxable supplies over 12 months (up from R1 million), and voluntary registration opens at R120,000. The turnover tax ceiling for micro-businesses moved to R2.3 million too.
If you registered under the old threshold, staying registered may or may not still make sense — it depends on your customers and your inputs. That's exactly the kind of question worth asking us before deciding.
Small business tax breaks
Paying less, legitimately
South Africa gives genuine tax relief to smaller companies — but only if you claim it. A qualifying Small Business Corporation pays 0% on the first R95,000 of taxable income, then graduated rates of 7% and 21% before the 27% rate kicks in above R550,000. Micro-businesses under R2.3 million turnover can elect turnover tax instead — one simple tax replacing income tax, VAT, provisional tax, capital gains and dividends tax.
Whether you qualify, and whether it's actually worth it, depends on your shareholding, your services and your margins. We check — it's part of the job, not an extra.
Frequently asked questions
Common SARS questions
When is provisional tax due?
For a February year-end: the first payment by 31 August, the second by the end of February, and an optional third top-up payment around seven months after year-end (end September) to reduce interest on any shortfall.
Do I have to register for VAT?
Registration is compulsory once your taxable supplies exceed R2.3 million in any 12-month period (from 1 April 2026) — you must apply within 21 business days. Below that you can register voluntarily from R120,000 of taxable supplies, which can make sense if your customers are VAT vendors.
What are the Small Business Corporation requirements?
Broadly: all shareholders are natural persons, gross income is R20 million or less, and the company isn't a personal service provider or holding company. Qualifying SBCs pay graduated rates starting at 0% instead of a flat 27%.
Can you sort out my SARS penalties?
Usually, yes. We review what the penalties are for, file any outstanding returns, and submit remission requests or objections where there are grounds. The worst thing you can do with SARS is nothing.
I haven't filed for years. How bad is it?
Fixable — and better fixed voluntarily than after SARS comes to you. We do backlog work regularly: reconstruct the records, file the outstanding returns, and negotiate the penalties and any payment arrangement.
