Tax Deadlines


 

Individuals (Non-Provisional Taxpayers)

If you earn a salary and are not registered for provisional tax:

  • Tax Season Opens: July
  • Tax Season Closes: October

During this time, we’ll help you submit your annual tax return correctly and on time. This is important because it keeps you compliant, helps you avoid unnecessary penalties, and in some cases, you could even get money back if you’ve paid more tax than you should have.

 


 

Staying compliant with the South African Revenue Service is critical to avoiding penalties, interest, and unnecessary stress. Missing a deadline can cost you money—so knowing exactly when and what to submit is essential.

Provisional Taxpayers (Businesses & Certain Individuals)

If you run a business, earn freelance income, or have multiple income streams:

  • 1st Provisional Payment: End of August
  • 2nd Provisional Payment: End of February
  • 3rd Payment (Optional Top-Up): End of September

These payments help you settle your tax liability in advance, reducing the risk of large, unexpected tax bills and penalties.

 


 

Employers (PAYE, UIF & SDL)

If you employ staff, you are responsible for monthly submissions:

  • Monthly Submissions & Payments: Due by the 7th of every month

This includes Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE), Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF), and Skills Development Levy (SDL). Late submissions can result in penalties and interest charges.

 


 

VAT Vendors

If your business is VAT registered:

  • Submissions: Monthly or Bi-monthly
  • Deadline: Typically the 25th of the month, or the last business day when submitted via eFiling

Timely VAT submissions are essential to maintain compliance and ensure smooth business operations.

 


 

Tax deadlines can change, and missing even one can cost you—money, time, and peace of mind. You shouldn’t have to carry that stress while trying to run your life or your business.
