Practical, plain-English guides on VAT, PAYE, UIF, SARS deadlines and bookkeeping — written to help you stay compliant and run your business with less admin.
Hiring young South Africans can earn you money back through the ETI. Who qualifies, how the sliding scale works, the 24-month limit, and how you claim it via your EMP201.
Annual, sick, family responsibility, maternity and parental leave under the BCEA — the minimum entitlements every South African employer needs to get right.
The habits that keep a small South African business's books clean — separate accounts, monthly reconciliation, source-document discipline and knowing what SARS expects.
The details SARS requires on a tax invoice, the difference between a full and abridged invoice, the R50 and R5,000 thresholds, and why it decides whether you can claim input VAT.
The recurring SARS deadlines — EMP201, VAT201, provisional tax (IRP6), EMP501 and the annual company return — laid out so nothing sneaks up on you.
Who counts as a provisional taxpayer, the two IRP6 returns due each year, how the estimates work, and how to steer clear of under-estimation penalties.
What PAYE, UIF and SDL actually are, who pays what, and how employers declare them monthly on the EMP201 and reconcile with SARS on the EMP501.
Access anywhere, automatic backups, live bank feeds and compliance that updates itself — the practical reasons South African businesses are leaving desktop software and spreadsheets behind.
The R1 million threshold, voluntary registration from R50,000, how to register on SARS eFiling, and what changes for your business once you're a VAT vendor.
