Oops - I under estimated first provisional tax payment what now?

Posted 28 August 2013

Hi Tim

I just filed and paid my IRP6 for the first payment just to realize that I might have under-estimated. Do I need to ask for a correction or can I rectify it with my second payment? Will there be any penalties?

Please let me know

I suggest rectifying it now and requesting a correction and resubmitting. If you did underestimate then there are serious penalties and interest that could accrue.
