Tax season is here, and with SARS tightening compliance, proper preparation is key to avoiding penalties and maximizing savings!
Key Changes You Need to Know:
Pro-Rata Tax-Free Investment Cap: If your tax year is shorter than 12 months, your R36,000 annual contribution limit is adjusted.
Retirement Contribution Adjustments: The R350,000 deduction cap is now prorated for shorter assessment periods.
Must-Have Documents for Smooth Filing:
✔️ IRP5/IT3(a) – Employer & retirement tax certificates
✔️ Medical aid & retirement annuity tax certificates
✔️ IT3(b)/(c)/(s) – Investment income & tax-free savings
✔️ Section 18(A) – PBO donation certificates
✔️ Vehicle logbook & proof of business expenses
✔️ Rental income & expenditure records
Avoid These Costly Mistakes:
❌ Missing SARS deadlines – penalties up to R16,000 per month!
❌ Failing to declare all income streams
❌ Claiming impermissible expenses – SARS disallows unsupported deductions
❌ Ignoring tax returns if PAYE is deducted – you must still file!
