Last year when I submitted my tax at SARS they said I do not need to register for provisional tax and that they would 'let me know when I needed to' so I just submitted a summary of my income and expenses to SARS at the normal tax time and they verified everything and all was ok. This year I am earning double what I did last year and feeling a bit concerned that I may have missed the magic line which crosses me over into a provisional tax payer? ...

Tax Code 4006 is less than I supplied, it seems limited

  Written by Evan  

Good day,

I completed my tax using efiling but the amount that I am inputting in the SARS code 4006 is showing a lesser amount on the calculated tax result. Is there a reason why amount is being lowered on the calculated result? I supplied an amount of R25000 on the Efiling form and on the Calculate Tax result shows R7700.
