Provisional Tax: many of us received an email from SARS reminding us that our provisional tax returns are due on 28 February. This caused a lot of alarm for people that weren’t even sure they were provisional tax payers.

Top Tip: Remember that, by submitting the return and payment timeously and accurately, you can ensure a hassle-free, smooth submission. Insufficient payment and/or underestimation of taxable income may lead to you being charged with penalties and interest.
