Provisional Tax Returns
We calculate and submit your provisional tax returns so you pay the right amount on time.
Why you need it
Why You May Need to Pay Provisional Tax
Provisional tax spreads your expected income tax liability across the year instead of leaving one large amount at assessment.
Accurate estimates matter
SARS can increase an estimate it considers too low, and penalties apply for underestimation.
Do not miss the final return
If the final return is not submitted within four months after year-end, SARS treats the estimate as nil.
Spread your tax payments
Paying during the year avoids one large tax bill on assessment.
