Tax Compliance & SARS Submissions — Never Miss a Deadline Again

Tax compliance in South Africa is complex, deadline-driven, and unforgiving. Miss a submission and SARS charges penalties. Get it wrong and the interest compounds. Get it right — proactively, year-round — and tax becomes a managed cost rather than an annual crisis.

What We Handle — Full SARS Compliance

As a Registered Tax Practitioner and SAIT Member, Chris Schutte and the Your Accountant® team manage all tax compliance obligations for our clients — from company income tax to PAYE to provisional tax to VAT. Everything is handled proactively, accurately and on time.

  • Company income tax returns (ITR14)
  • Individual income tax returns (ITR12) for business owners and staff
  • Provisional tax — first, second and optional third payments
  • PAYE, UIF and SDL monthly submissions (EMP201)
  • Annual employer reconciliation (EMP501)
  • VAT returns every two months (facilitated through our trusted partners)
  • SARS correspondence — queries, audits, requests for information
  • SARS dispute resolution and objections
  • Tax clearance certificates

Personal Tax for Business Owners and Their Staff

For all our business clients, we extend our tax service to include the personal income tax returns of business owners and, where required, their staff. Your personal and business tax positions are closely linked — especially in owner-managed businesses where salary, dividends, and director fees all affect your personal tax liability.

We ensure every legitimate personal deduction is claimed — retirement annuity contributions, medical aid, travel allowances, home office costs — reducing your personal tax bill while keeping you fully compliant.

Provisional Tax — Planning, Not Guessing

Provisional tax is paid in two instalments — August and February — based on your estimated taxable income for the year. Most businesses guess. We don't. Using your live Xero data and Syft Analytics cashflow forecasts, we base your provisional tax estimates on real numbers — avoiding underpayment penalties while not overpaying SARS unnecessarily.

Tax planning is not about paying less than you owe. It is about ensuring you never pay more than you legally need to — and that takes year-round attention, not a last-minute scramble.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is provisional tax and who must pay it?
Provisional tax is a method of paying income tax in advance — in two instalments during the year. Any person or company earning income other than a salary is generally required to pay provisional tax. We manage this for all our clients.
What happens if I miss a SARS deadline?
SARS charges an administrative penalty of R250 per month per outstanding return — and interest on late payments at the prescribed rate. Working with Your Accountant® means you never miss a deadline.
Do you handle SARS audits?
Yes. We represent clients in SARS verification and audit processes — preparing all required documentation, responding to SARS queries and resolving disputes on your behalf.
Can you do my personal tax return as well as my business?
Yes — and we recommend it. For owner-managed businesses, the personal and business tax positions are closely connected. We handle both to ensure your overall tax position is optimised.
