LAST DAY TO FILE, BUT WHAT DOES YOUR RETURN TELL YOU? ⚠️

If you’re a non-provisional individual taxpayer, 23 October is your line in the sand, and SARS doesn’t move on this one.

But here’s the more useful way to think about the next few days: your tax return isn’t just a form to get off your desk. It’s a full year of financial decisions, summarised in one document. Filed correctly, it’s compliance. Read properly, it’s a planning tool for the year ahead.

Before you file, ask:

• Did this year’s numbers surprise you, and why?
• Are there deductions or allowances you might be missing?
• What would you do differently next year, based on what this return shows?

Still need to file, or want a second look before you do? Get in touch; we’ll make sure the deadline is the least interesting part of the conversation.

VAT IS GOING DIGITAL 💡

SARS is moving towards a more digital VAT environment.

In August 2026, SARS released its VAT Modernisation Consultation Paper, outlining proposed changes to VAT administration in South Africa.

Nothing changes to your VAT201 submission tomorrow. The proposals are still under consultation and implementation is expected to be phased.
But the direction is clear.

What is SARS proposing?
The future VAT environment could increasingly be built around:
•⁠ ⁠Electronic invoicing
•⁠ ⁠Electronic reporting
•⁠ ⁠Greater integration between business systems and SARS
The goal is to bring VAT compliance closer to the underlying transactions and, over time, enable more sophisticated data analytics, AI-driven risk detection and greater automation.

Why should businesses pay attention?
There is no need to panic or immediately replace your accounting systems.
But the quality of your accounting data matters.

Businesses relying on manual processes, incomplete records, inconsistent coding or disconnected systems may find the transition more challenging.
Accurate records, good processes and integrated systems will put businesses in a stronger position.

And the benefits go beyond SARS - better accounting systems can already improve visibility over cash flow, profitability and business performance.
Technology does not replace good accounting.

Digitalisation can make compliance more efficient, but incorrect information processed faster is still incorrect.
Strong accounting controls, review and professional judgement will remain essential.

As technology handles more repetitive tasks, accountants can focus more on interpreting information, identifying risks and helping business owners make better decisions.

What should businesses do now?

There is no immediate new VAT system to implement.

But businesses can start asking:
•⁠ ⁠Are our records accurate and up to date?
•⁠ ⁠Are we relying on unnecessary manual processes?
•⁠ ⁠Do our systems integrate properly?
•⁠ ⁠Can transactions be traced to supporting documents?
•⁠ ⁠Are we using our accounting information to actually manage the business?

South African tax administration is becoming more digital, data-driven and integrated.
Businesses that invest in good systems and good financial information today will be better prepared for what comes next.

5 SIGNS IT'S TIME FOR A FINANCIAL SPRING CLEAN 🌱 Swipe through to see if any of these sound familiar.

September marks the start of spring, and it's not a bad time to give your finances the same treatment as your junk drawer.

If your budget hasn't been touched since before the last interest rate change, or you couldn't say what your retirement annuity is actually invested in, that's sign one and two.

If your will still mentions an ex, an old address, or a business you no longer own, or you'e not sure whether you're a provisional taxpayer, add those to the list.

And if your "emergency fund" is more of a feeling than an actual account, that's sign five.

None of these are dramatic alone.
Together, they're usually a sign your financial plan hasn't kept up with your life.

The AIM team offers a full financial health check covering tax, retirement, estate planning and everyday budgeting, all in one conversation. Contact us:

IT'S BRAAI DAY 🇿🇦🔥

24 September means one thing above all else: the fire goes on, rain or shine.
Fun fact for your braai small talk: Braai Day was started in 2005 by Jan Scannell, better known as Jan Braai, who left a career as an accountant to build a national day around a fire and some boerewors. Two years later, Archbishop Desmond Tutu became its patron, and it's been a fixture on the calendar ever since.

We can't promise our accountants will trade their spreadsheets for tongs any time soon, but we do love that a fellow numbers person started one of SA's favourite traditions.

However you're spending today, we hope it's with good company, good meat, and zero admin.

Happy Braai Day from all of us at AIM.

WE ASKED THE BENONI TEAM A FEW IMPORTANT QUESTIONS… 🎤

We put our Benoni team on the spot and let the questions fly:
Is a braai ever cancelled? What problem do you solve for clients every single day? Rugby or cricket? We asked, they answered, no scripts, no second takes.

This is not the last one - what would you like us to ask the team? Leave it in the comments 🔊

DID YOU KNOW? You can legally make a valid will in South Africa from the age of 16, younger than the legal voting age, and younger than you can hold a driver's licence unsupervised.

All the Wills Act requires is that you are 16 or older and mentally capable of understanding what you're signing.

So, if you've been putting off drafting a will because you think you're "too young" for one, that excuse doesn't really hold up. The truth is most South Africans put it off well into adulthood, and even further than that.
Whatever your age, there's no better time to get it sorted than now.

The AIM team is ready to help, whenever you are.

VAT REGISTRATION: WHAT CHANGED FOR SMALL BUSINESSES IN 2026 ✅
Swipe through before you decide.

The compulsory VAT registration threshold increased from R1 million to R2.3 million, effective 1 April 2026. If your annual turnover sits below that new threshold, you may no longer be required to register.

For many small businesses that's genuinely good news: less admin, no bi-monthly VAT201 returns, no VAT to add to your prices. But before you rush to deregister, it's worth thinking it through.

Once you deregister, you lose the ability to claim input VAT on your business expenses.

Some clients and suppliers, especially larger ones, prefer working with VAT-registered businesses. And deregistering triggers its own process, including a deemed disposal of your business assets for VAT purposes, which carries its own tax consequences.

A higher threshold is an opportunity for some businesses and the wrong move for others.
It depends entirely on your numbers.

The AIM team can model both scenarios for your business before you make the call.

WILL AI REPLACE ACCOUNTANTS? 🎯

AI is changing the accounting profession, raising an important question:
If technology can handle more repetitive work, what should accountants be doing instead?

Accounting has always evolved. From ledgers to spreadsheets, cloud software and automated bank feeds, technology has continually changed how accountants work.

AI is the next step, helping process information, identify unusual transactions, summarise data and analyse information faster.

But technology cannot replace judgement, accountability and professional expertise.

Less processing. More interpretation. As technology handles more of the processing, accountants can focus on:
•⁠ ⁠Interpreting financial information
•⁠ ⁠Identifying risks and opportunities
•⁠ ⁠Improving processes and controls
•⁠ ⁠Understanding business performance
•⁠ ⁠Supporting better decisions

The value is no longer simply in producing the numbers, but in understanding what they mean.

AI still needs people. AI can work with incomplete information and produce answers that sound right but aren't.
In accounting, accuracy and accountability matter. Technology can support judgement. It cannot replace it.

At Accountants in Motion, we see technology as a tool, not the end goal. We use it to reduce unnecessary work, improve information and create more time for what matters: understanding our clients, applying professional judgement and helping businesses make better decisions.

Accounting is a changing profession, not a disappearing one. AI will change accounting. Some tasks will disappear and new skills will be needed. But we see this as an opportunity to move accounting beyond processing information and towards insight, advice and better decision-making.

The future of accounting will combine technology with something technology cannot replace:
Judgement. Understanding. Trust.
