Is the business a registered entity?

No, we are independent distributors, the company we work for however is registered.

We source out own business leads and sale, and receive our product from the company.

We are part of herbalife international.

You would register for provisional tax and submit a normal year end tax return. This is because the income earned from the Herbalife would be taxed in your own hands personally.

What is Provisional Tax? How and when?

Am I a Provisional taxpayer?
