Company Tax Returns

A company tax return is a legally binding declaration that details all income received or accrued and identifies the income taxable within the company. This return, known as the ITR14, must be accurately completed and submitted to the South African Revenue Service (SARS) within 12 months after the company’s financial year-end.

It is crucial to adhere to the deadlines for submitting the ITR14, as failure to do so will result in administrative penalties for each late return.

For small, medium, and large businesses, the submission of signed-off Annual Financial Statements (AFS) is mandatory, ensuring full transparency and compliance. At Digital Accountants & Tax Consultants (DATC), we help businesses navigate the ITR14 process efficiently, ensuring timely submissions and minimizing the risk of penalties.

Provisional Tax Returns

If you earn income from multiple sources, such as a second job, rental income, or interest income, or if you operate your own business, you must register as a provisional taxpayer with the South African Revenue Service (SARS). As a provisional taxpayer, you are required to submit two provisional tax returns per year under your tax number.

In addition to these bi-annual submissions, you must file your Annual Tax Return (IT12) with SARS once a year. This serves as a final check to ensure that you have paid the correct amount of tax throughout the year.

Provisional tax allows SARS to collect taxes in two instalments during the year, rather than waiting until after the year-end assessment. This system helps smooth out the tax collection process. For companies, provisional tax is mandatory, ensuring businesses meet their tax obligations in a timely manner.

At Digital Accountants & Tax Consultants (DATC), we guide you through the provisional tax process, ensuring your returns are filed accurately and on time, so you can avoid penalties and stay compliant with SARS requirements.

Tax Clearances

A Tax Clearance Certificate is an official confirmation issued by the South African Revenue Service (SARS), certifying that a taxpayer’s tax affairs are in good standing as of the date of issuance. This certificate serves as proof of compliance with SARS requirements, providing assurance to potential clients, business partners, and financial institutions.

The certificate remains valid for one year from the date of issue, provided the taxpayer continues to meet all ongoing compliance obligations with SARS. At Digital Accountants & Tax Consultants (DATC), we assist you in obtaining and maintaining your Tax Clearance Certificate, ensuring that your tax matters are always in order and up to date.

Consulting & Liaison with SARS

Value-added Tax (VAT)

Value-Added Tax (VAT) is an indirect form of taxation, governed by the Value-Added Tax Act 89 of 1991 in South Africa. VAT is levied at 14% on all customer sales, but the Act also provides for various exemptions, exceptions, deductions, and adjustments that can significantly reduce a business’s VAT liability.

At Digital Accountants & Tax Consultants (DATC), we offer professional services to assist VAT vendors in managing their obligations effectively. Whether you’re an established VAT vendor or a new business registering for VAT, our expert team provides comprehensive guidance to ensure compliance and help optimize your VAT position. We help you navigate the complexities of VAT, from registration to filing, and ensure that all available exemptions and deductions are properly utilized to minimize your tax burden.

Employer Reconciliation Declaration (eMP501)

PAYE (Pay As You Earn) is a tax collection system administered by the South African Revenue Service (SARS), requiring employers to deduct tax from employees’ salaries. To ensure compliance and accuracy, all registered PAYE businesses are required to submit a PAYE reconciliation, known as the EMP501, twice a year.

The EMP501 ensures that all UIF (Unemployment Insurance Fund) and PAYE payments reconcile with the staff salaries and the submissions made throughout the year. This process is compulsory for all PAYE-registered businesses and plays a crucial role in verifying that the correct amounts have been deducted and paid to SARS.

Our team at DATC ensures that your EMP501 submissions are completed accurately and on time, minimizing the risk of errors and penalties while maintaining compliance with SARS regulations.

Tax registrations

At DATC, we offer comprehensive services for all types of tax registrations, ensuring that your business or personal tax affairs are properly managed. While some tax registrations are mandatory, others may be optional depending on your circumstances. Our expert team provides professional advice to help you understand which registrations are required and how they impact your financial obligations.

We guide you through the entire registration process, from start to finish, ensuring timely and accurate submissions. With our assistance, you can be confident that all necessary tax registrations are handled efficiently, allowing you to focus on running your business or managing your personal finances.

Capital Gains Tax

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is incurred when a taxpayer disposes of an asset, and in certain cases, tax will be applicable on the gain made from the sale. The calculation of CGT can be complex, involving various exemptions, exclusions, and allowances that must be considered to ensure accurate reporting.

At DATC, our professional service ensures that all capital gains transactions are handled with care and precision. We guide our clients through the entire process, helping them understand their tax obligations and minimizing the potential tax liability. With our expert assistance, clients can have peace of mind knowing that their capital gains transactions are compliant with tax regulations and optimally managed.
