FAQ

Why should I register for Value-Added Tax (VAT)?

You should register for VAT if you intend participating in the VAT system. However, before you register you must carry on an enterprise and you must meet, either the compulsory or the voluntary monetary registration threshold requirements. To register on the compulsory basis, you must carry on an enterprise and the value of your taxable supplies (excluding VAT) must either exceed R1million in a 12month period or if you have reasonable grounds to believe that your taxable supplies will exceed R1million. To register on the voluntary basis you must carry on an enterprise and the total value of your taxable supplies must have exceeded R50 000 in the past period of 12 months.

Why must I register for Income Tax?

If your earnings for a given tax year are above the tax threshold, you are obliged by law to register for income tax. If you are an individual who is younger than 65years and earned more than R R63,556 in the 2013 tax year, you must register for income tax. And so should an individual who is 65 years and older and earned R99, 056. The amount increases to R110, 889 if you are older than 75 years.

When is my VAT payment due?

VAT payments are due by the 25th day of the first month commencing after the end of the tax period, for businesses who file their returns and make payments electronically. For eFiling it is the last business day of the month after the end of the tax period.

Do I need to submit my logbook and in what format do I need to compile the logbook?

Yes, you need a log book to support your claim for expenses related to an employer-provided vehicle. However, you do not need to submit the log book with your ITR12 return. The log book must be maintained and retained with other relevant material for a period of five years from the due date of submission. Link to Logbook: www.sars.gov.za
