What info on Period 1 and Period 2 for provisional tax filing?

Posted 14 January 2014

Provisional Tax Period 1 2014 was not submitted, Personal tax was submitted on time. According to eFiling I should still submit Period 1 2014? I am confused as to the difference between info on Period 1 and Period 2.

Period 1 is the for the time between 1 March and 31 August 2013 and Period 2 is between 1 September and 28 February 2014 for the 2014 tax year year. In each return you would put the total expected income for the whole year. SARS will then calculate how much you need to pay for the whole year and then divide it by 2 so that you are not paying tax twice.

Personal Tax return was for the 2013 tax year running 1 March 2012 to 28 February 2013.
