Frequently Asked Questions

What is Provisional Tax (IRP6)?

Provisional tax is not a separate tax. It is a method of paying your income tax liability in advance (every 6 months) to ensure you don't owe SARS a large lump sum at year-end.

My business made no profit/loss. Do I still file?

Yes! You must file a "Nil Return" to confirm to SARS that your taxable income is Zero. Failing to file triggers an administrative non-compliance penalty.

What documents do we need to send you?

To calculate accurately, we need your business bank statements (from 1 March 2025 to date) and a list of your business expenses. If you have your previous IRP6, that helps too.

How quickly can you submit the return?

Our standard turnaround time is 24-48 hours, provided all bank statements and expense details are received promptly.

What are the penalties if I miss the deadline?

Late submission attracts a 10% penalty on the tax due, plus interest at the prescribed rate. Additionally, SARS can levy monthly administrative penalties for every month the return is outstanding.

Can you help if I have outstanding returns from previous years?

Yes, our team can assist with bringing your tax affairs up to date. We will need to tackle the oldest outstanding returns first to clear your compliance status.

Do I need to pay the tax amount immediately?

Ideally, payment should be made by 28 February to avoid interest. However, filing the return on time is the most critical step to avoid the 10% late submission penalty.

Is the team qualified?

Yes, our Director, Charles Mbedzi, holds a BCom Accounting degree and a Postgraduate Diploma in Taxation from Rhodes University, and is a registered Financial Accountant.

Do you handle CIPC Annual Returns?

Yes, we can file your CIPC Annual Returns to prevent your company from being deregistered. The fee is R350 (excluding CIPC's prescribed fee).

How do I make payment for your services?

Payment is required upfront to secure your filing slot. Once you confirm via WhatsApp, we will send you the banking details for Smartend Tax & Accounting.
