Company Tax

Provisional | VAT | PAYE

We provide company tax advice as an integrated service to doing the company monthly accounting. It is also customary for us to complete company tax returns for our clients.

Provisional taxes are done on a six monthly basis. For most companies these dates fall on 31 August and 28 February each year. It is customary for client to make use of our postal address for correspondence with SARS on company tax matters. This enables us to advise our clients on provisional taxes timeously, which enables paying of taxes more evenly spread through the year.

We also advise on tax efficiency in terms of the Income Tax act, the use of trusts and allowances in terms of the Income Tax act. We also do extensive tax planning for our clients.
