Business runs at a loss - do I need to submit provisional tax return?

  Written by Nicci   Posted 25 February 2016

Another question - what if the business has run at a loss? It's a medical practice, and turns out many of my claims will only be processed in March 2016 i.e Next tax year.

Taking medical aid tax credits into account in provisional tax calculation

  Written by Nicci   Posted 23 February 2016

  Written by Marc   Posted 19 February 2016

I've just got back and seen the email from SARS. I have a few questions. 1. I made a mistake on the foreign Income, as it was through the business and not my personal account.
