Tax and business Registration?

Posted 9 July 2013

Hi Tim

I am looking to start a business from home. Myself as the owner and 8-9 employee's. Business could generate about R40 000 pm before deductions. Employees would get paid weekly between R600 - R800
per week.

Would I need to register my business with CIPC and with SARS to pay tax. Would I pay tax on the amount of money the business makes before any deductions like salaries and business expenditure. or would tax be calculated on the amount after deductions.

Could you also advise what the process is to register a small business....

How do I know if SARS has completed assessing my return?

Posted 9 July 2013

HI there

I have submitted my return and my eFiling status says assessment received. I have received my ITA34 and have drawn up my Statement of accounts on my profile.

How do I submit a nil tax return via eFiling as no longer resident in South Africa?

Posted 9 July 2013

We have been living in Australia since 2011 so are non-residents in South Africa for income tax purposes. We are registered tax payers in Australia. When eFiling and creating my ITR12 SA tax return, do I click yes to the button saying that I have been unemployed so that I can create a nil return? Can I do this each year? Do I need to declare interest of R300 earned in South Africa - I have already declared this in my Australian return.

If my provisional tax return is a zero, must I still complete the IRP6?

Posted 8 July 2013

As a member of a CC I paye fixed monthly PAYE and all payments are always 100% up to date. I submitted my 2013 tax return and IT34 tax assessment is -R1 (SARS owes me). On the same assessment is also a penalty of R 2,288 for not submitting provisional tax. Surely this cannot be right. Must I object Hasn't SARS issued a statement confirming that you're only obliged to submit a provisional tax return if you are indeed liable for provisional tax?

Posted 5 July 2013

All the online documentation says the shareholder (beneficial owner) should declare local dividends received in his ITR12 return, but I cannot find where to enter the information.
