Pay Less Tax & Avoid SARS Tax Penalties

with our video mini-course

As a business owner you know that the South African Revenue Services (SARS) are the last people whose bad side you want to be on. We've created a video mini-course that will help you avoid paying more tax than you should for your business and also to avoid unnecessary tax penalties.

Does Your Business Have A Tax Debt With SARS?

If your business has a debt with SARS or The Department of Labour, we can assist. The reality is that SARS has every legal right to, not only to take money from your business through your bank, but also go after your personal assets in order to settle your business tax debts.

Does Your Business Have Employees?

So here's the problem, you're probably not sure which payroll tax returns your business is required to submit. This will lead to your business incurring penalties from SARS and The Department of Labour. If your business has employees then we can help make sure that your business never pays more than it's fair share of payroll taxes, stays tax compliant and avoids penalties from SARS and The Department of Labour.

We Help Your Business To Pay Less Taxes

When it comes to choosing an Accountant for your business, you have three options:

Option 1: Hire an accountant as an employee

Problem with this is that it's more costly. Qualified and experienced accountants usually earn market-related salaries in the tune of R30K to R40K per month. Another problem is that you have to manage them. They also take leave, get sick or go on strike like any other employee.

Option 2: Hire a cheap accounting firm

Well in the accounting & tax business, you get what you pay for. Cheap accountants know their worth (or lack of) and that's why they are cheap. The problem with cheap accountants is that, while you might save on price, you end up paying more in taxes and SARS penalties for late submissions and other incompetencies. This is because thy hire inexperienced staff to keep costs down for themselves

Option 3: Hire a premium accounting firm

While this type of accounting firm charges a bit more than the cheap accountants, the quality of work is levels apart. That's because this accounting firm focuses more on hiring qualified & experienced staff. That's our philosophy at The PTY Guy. We hire qualified, experienced and competent staff so that you receive high levels of quality in the work we do for you.

Services Explained

Monthly Bookkeeping

This includes recording every financial transaction that occurs in your business ie. rent, salaries, stock purchases etc. Let's be honest, number crunching is a daunting task that needs to be left to the professionals. We take that burden away from you so that you don't ever have to do number crunching but still keep your books up to date.

Monthly Management Accounts

These are monthly financial reports that show you how your business performed during any given month. These reports are very helpful in comparing sales figures, expenses and other data on a month to month basis. They also help with controlling business costs by enabling you to make better decisions on how to make improvements where needed therefore making your business more profitable. These reports are also needed by banks when you're applying for any form of credit/finance.

Annual Financial Statements

These are annual financial reports that show you how your business performed during any given year. These reports are very helpful in comparing sales figures, expenses and other data on a year to year basis. These reports are also needed by banks when you're applying for any form of credit/finance.

Income Tax Returns

These are annual declarations of income and expenses to SARS in order to determine how much tax is due to SARS. It is a legal requirement for all companies to submit their tax returns even if there was no trading activities nor profit made during the financial year.

Provisional Tax Returns

These are similar to Income Tax Returns but these are done bi-annually. They are also a legal requirement by SARS even if there was no trading activities nor profit made during the financial year. They are used to estimate what your tax will be for the entire year and divided by two so that the entire years taxes are paid in two instalments instead of one large lump sum payment.

PAYE/UIF/SDL (EMP 201)

PAYE stands for Pay As You Earn which is basically a tax on your employees salaries which you have to deduct from your employees salary and pay over to SARS. UIF stands for Unemployment Insurance Fund which is basically a form of insurance so that if your employees lose their employment with you for whatever reason, the government can compensate these employees for a period of six months while they look for other employment. They contribute 1% of their salary and the employer contributes the other 1% of the employees salary. All employers are required by law to register for UIF. SDL stands for Skills Development Levy. This is an encouragement by the government for employers to develop their employees skills. This is only applicable once total salaries paid to employees within a 12 month period exceed R500 000.

VAT Returns

After registering for VAT, SARS requires you to submit VAT returns bi-monthly. This is where you declare the VAT you charged customers and also claim the VAT that you paid. If the VAT you charged customers is larger than the VAT you paid to your suppliers then you would have to pay the difference to SARS. If the opposite were the case ie. the VAT you paid to your suppliers was larger than the VAT you charged your customers then SARS would refund you the difference.

COID/WCA Returns

These are returns that are submitted to the Department of Labour, annually. COID stands for Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases. This helps your employees to receive some sort of compensation (from the government) if they were injured or developed and diseases as a result of carrying out their work duties. WCA stands for Workmens Compensation Act, which is just an Act that governs COID. These two terms are used interchangeably. It is a requirement by law for every employer to be registered for COID.

Tax Clearance Certificate

This is a certificate that shows that you are compliant in all your tax affairs. This is required by government departments should you wish to do business with them.

Monthly Employee Payroll

This includes the calculation of employees salaries, preparation of their payslips and leave management on a monthly basis. It is a legal requirement for all employers to provide payslips to all their employees

EMP 501 Returns

These are bi-annual salary reconciliations that are required to be submitted to SARS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose a monthly accountant vs less frequent methods of accounting?

Monthly accounting services provide substantially more value than only an annual service. If an accountant only sees your numbers once a year, it is too late to offer advice that would have helped to make that year more profitable. And definitely too late to lower your tax liability for a year that is already over with. There are five ways monthly accounting pays for itself: 1) It saves you time, 2) You get regular business profitability advice, 3)You have peace of mind that your finances are handled, 4) Your tax liability is reduced, 5) You can make more proactive financial decisions.

What is an outsourced accountanting & tax service?

Outsourced accounting is a service which provides a full, accounting department experience for small businesses. An accounting department handles the day-to-day transaction coding, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, management financial reporting and many other services.

Outsourced accounting providers have a full compliment of accounting professionals allowing them to offer a small team of accountants at a lower cost to hiring.

Why should I separate my business & personal finances?

Mixing business and personal finances is a major problem for small-business owners. Not only does it create headaches at tax time, it also makes it difficult to track the profitability of your company. Worse-case scenario: you get audited by SARS and end up with major fines. Keeping these two parts of your money life separate is essential to preserve your sanity and to ensure you have a sustainable business model.

How does better accounting improve my bottom line?

Many small- and mid-size businesses fail to adequately measure and manage their finances, even though poor financial management is a major cause of business failure. If you don’t have good financial practices in place, your business could suffer in a number of ways, including lost revenue, insufficient tax planning, and missed financial opportunities. A great monthly accounting service will handle your profit and loss statements, monthly balance sheets, and regular account reconciliation to help you take back control of your finances without much effort on your part.
