SARS clamping down on all non-compliant companies

You might have already received SMS’s like these:

urgent sars notice

Failure to complete your tax submissions at the designated deadline, can result in late penalty fees being charged by SARS. This can range from R250 per month backdated for non-trading companies and up to 10% of annual income for trading companies. It is also important to remember to complete the information as accurately as possible as submitting false information is an offence.

Unfortunately it doesn’t stop there. Failure to submit your company tax returns at SARS will reflect on your company’s tax status. Meaning, your company will be labelled as “non-compliant” by SARS. Consequently, if you request a Tax Clearance Certificate for tenders or contracts, it will reflect a non-compliant status, significantly hindering the application process.

Understanding Income Tax Returns at SARS

As an SMME you have heard and read about income tax returns at SARS. We want to broaden your understanding of SARS tax returns in this article. Good news first, If you have a business registration number at CIPC, you automatically have a Company Income Tax number.

Whether a self-employed individual or business (trading or not), you are required to register your business with SARS, file your tax returns and pay the required taxes on time in order to be compliant at SARS.

According to research, between 20 and 23% of SMMEs are not even registered with SARS, meaning they are unable to submit their tax returns on efiling, which may result in them having to swallow some bitter pills once the taxman comes knocking.

Upcoming Tax Return Submissions to be aware of

This helps in managing tax responsibilities more efficiently, preventing a large tax bill at the end of the financial year. It requires estimating income and expenses before year-end and paying a provisional tax amount to SARS.
