Understand It. Estimate It. Submit It.
Provisional Tax Doesn't Need to Be Complicated
Provisional tax is not a separate tax. It is a payment system that allows tax on your income to be paid in instalments during the year instead of as one large amount later. The difficult part is getting the estimate right.
Your Basic Amount
Review the taxable income SARS has used as the starting point for your IRP6.
Your Estimated Income
Work through what you’ve earned and what is realistically expected for the rest of the tax year.
Business Expenses
Use real, supportable business expenses when preparing the estimate.
Tax Already Paid
Take applicable PAYE withheld and relevant credits into account.
Keep Your Workings
Keep the calculations and supporting information behind your estimate.
IRP6 Submission
Prepare the estimate, submit the IRP6 and allow enough time for payment to clear.
