Regardless of whether you receive a salary, work on commission, or operate as a freelancer, we strive to make your tax filing precise, fully compliant, and financially advantageous.

Personal Tax: Common Inquiries

The tax season for non-provisional taxpayers usually opens in July and closes in October each year. For provisional taxpayers (freelancers, business owners, or those with rental income), the deadline to submit the final personal tax return is typically in January of the following year. Missing these dates leads to immediate administrative penalties from SARS.

SARS has stated that if you earn under R500,000 from a single employer and have no other deductions (like Medical Aid or Retirement Annuity), you *may* not need to file. However, we strongly recommend filing a personal tax return anyway. This ensures you have a compliant tax clearance history, which is often required for bank loans, visas, or future employment.

SARS may automatically calculate your tax based on data they receive from banks and employers. They will send you an SMS stating you have been "Auto-Assessed." Do not just accept this. SARS does not know about your additional medical expenses, travel logbooks, or other deductions. Always have a tax practitioner review your auto-assessment before the deadline to ensure you aren't paying too much tax.
