Asset depreciation in first tax year
Posted 10 February 2013
If I registered for tax for the 2012 tax year, does that mean that I can't claim asset depreciation in that first year, since the calculations are based on asset usage in the previous year (when I wasn't utilizing the assets for work purposes)?
As a Sole Proprietor - do you need to do annual returns on profit, AND monthly PAYE?
Posted 10 February 2013
If you are drawing a monthly salary from your business being a sole proprietor should you be paying monthly PAYE, as well as company tax on the annual profit? Or should you not be drawing a salary and only live off the profit of your company, but pay annual taxes on the profit?
Also if so, is this provisional tax or annual tax?

When can I apply for a tax directive?
Posted 8 February 2013
My employment was terminated and I applied for a tax directive, for my terminal benefits, which I received from SARS which allowed me to get my final payment tax free. My employer however claims the termination of my contract does not constitute retrenchment and therefore I misrepresented the reason for requesting a directive. Is this true? I did detail on the form the breakdown of the money (December Salary, Bonus and Leave pay) I had received and SARS gave me the directive.
PROVISIONAL TAX VS PAYE QUERY?
Posted 8 February 2013
I am a Freelance Art Director, started Freelancing mid Sep 2011. At the end of tax year 2012, I submitted my tax which reflected income from projects that I had under-taken. Some of the companies that I did projects for automatically deducted PAYE @ 25%, although a few of them did not which was also reflected on the tax return. Resulting in me having to pay the shortfall PAYE to SARS per project that did not deduct tax. I was then told that I had to register for provisional tax which I did. MY D...
