TaxTim says: 20 January 2016 at 11:54 You would need to register as a provisional taxpayer and pay tax 2-3 times a year. What is Provisional Tax? How and when? You can deduct all business related expenses incurred in earning your income. e.g. travel, telephone, etc You can only deduct the proportion relating to business usage - so for expenditure relating to personal and business usage, you need to work out business usage as a percentage of the total and claim accordingly. There is substantial red tape associated with setting up and running a company. Also, individuals are taxed on a sliding scale versus a set rate in a company, so up to a certain level of income it is more tax efficient to operate as a sole proprietor.
