Must I submit a provisional tax return if I only became a provisional taxpayer in October?

Posted 3 November 2014

I started my own business on 1 October 2014 and am now running as a sole prop. I am aware that I am now a provisional taxpayer and need to submit IRP6's.

My question is do I need to go back and submit an IRP6 for the first provisional return for 2015 tax year at end August 2014 (for 201501) even though I was not a provisional tax payer at that stage?

Would I just submit a Rnil return?

No you would just submit from the second provisional return and therefore submit a zero return for the first period.
