TaxTim says: 31 October 2012 at 9:41 SARS only charges once for income earned through the year. The IRP6 is just a way of SARS getting cash earlier and helps you from having to pay a huge amount at year end. Whatever tax is paid during the provisional period, reduces your year end liability. So you can see it as paying up front for the income you expect to earn during the year, but never twice! |
