Tax and business Registration?

  Written by Marc   Posted 9 July 2013

Hi Tim

I am looking to start a business from home. Myself as the owner and 8-9 employee's. Business could generate about R40 000 pm before deductions. Employees would get paid weekly between R600 - R800
per week.

Would I need to register my business with CIPC and with SARS to pay tax. Would I pay tax on the amount of money the business makes before any deductions like salaries and business expenditure. or would tax be calculated on the amount after deductions.

When a spouse dies (it was after the tax year), is the spouse entitled to claim this? If so, would it need to go through the estate or would it go directly to the spouse? This with being married "in community of property"

Hope you can help me as This is the...

What do I Submit my ITR12 Income tax return?

  Written by Marc   Posted 9 July 2013

Good Day,

In 2011, I finished at a company at the end of April 2011. I received an IRP5 and submitted this. In September of 2011 I started work at a new company and My 2012 IRP5 shows this as the date worked from. So For 2012 I only submitted 1 IRP5. Is this correct? or should I have submitted 2 IRP5's for 2011.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank You

How do I submit a nil tax return via eFiling as no longer resident in South Africa?

  Written by Marc   Posted 9 July 2013

We have been living in Australia since 2011 so are non-residents in South Africa for income tax purposes. We are registered tax payers in Australia. When eFiling and creating my ITR12 SA tax return, do I click yes to the button saying that I have been unemployed so that I can create a nil return? Can I do this each year? Do I need to declare interest of R300 earned in South Africa - I have already declared this in my Australian return.

If my provisional tax return is a zero, must I still complete the IRP6?

  Written by Marc   Posted 8 July 2013

As a member of a CC I paye fixed monthly PAYE and all payments are always 100% up to date. I submitted my 2013 tax return and IT34 tax assessment is -R1 (SARS owes me). On the same assessment is also a penalty of R 2,288 for not submitting provisional tax. Surely this cannot be right. Must I object Hasn't SARS issued a statement confirming that you're only obliged to submit a provisional tax return if you are indeed liable for provisional tax?
