OUR ACCOUNTING SERVICES INCLUDE:

Company Tax Return and SARS Compliance

We often get enquiries from SME’s who have not correctly submitted company tax returns with SARS or have omitted such returns completely. These returns include provisional tax returns not submitted or paid. In most cases, large penalties and interest has been levied against them by SARS. Our accountants and Master Tax Specialists are able to:

  • Transfer the company e-filing profile to our profile in order to view your standing with SARS
  • Compile Annual Financial Statements for the company and sign these off, in order to submit to SARS as supporting documents for your Income Tax returns
  • Apply for remission of penalties and interest on your behalf
VAT Registration

If your business (in your personal capacity or as a registered company) has a gross income of R2,3 million and over then you are required by law to register for VAT. Voluntary registration can be done if you have a turnover of more than R120 000.

We can assist in registering your company for VAT and do the SARS interview for registration on your behalf. The following process is followed when doing so:

  • Send mail to client with requirements
  • Once all documents are obtained we visit SARS for the registration and interview
  • A SARS official records all documents after interview and provides VAT number
  • Register client on E-filing for submission purposes
VAT Returns – Output and Input VAT

Our service includes the monthly and bimonthly submission of your VAT.

Please note that if you have not done any VAT submissions, we can help with outstanding returns (we have successfully backdated VAT returns as far as 15 years).

Input VAT is claimable for 5 years since date of invoice.

Below is an example of items that can be claimed as VAT input:

  • Office rent
  • Travel costs
  • Cost of sales
  • Municipality bills
  • All expenses for which the company have a qualifying invoice that was spent on expenses in order to gain income
Applying for Remission of VAT Penalties and/or interest

As our firm is backed by Master Tax Specialists with specialist knowledge on VAT and who have extensive experience in negotiating with SARS. If SARS has levied penalties and / or interest against your VAT liability, our team can negotiate with SARS to waive penalties if you have a valid reason for not submitting returns or paying VAT.

We also ensure that ongoing VAT submissions and annual financial statements to SARS will be kept up to date to ensure compliance with SARS going forward.

Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) VAT registration, VAT submission and VAT invoicing

In February 2017, The South African Revenue Service (SARS) confirmed the interpretation of the VAT law that requires NEDs of companies to register for and charge VAT in respect of any director’s fees earned for services rendered as a non-executive director.

We offer a bespoke accounting service to NEDs that involves the initial VAT registration at SARS and also includes the monthly VAT submission and VAT invoicing on their behalf. We have an extensive experience in this regard and assist many NED clients on a monthly basis.
