Corporate tax, VAT/GST, personal income tax, capital gains, and filing obligations.
The South African Revenue Service (SARS) administers income tax, VAT, PAYE, customs and excise. Companies should plan corporate income tax, provisional tax, VAT registration, payroll withholding and eFiling access together.
- SARS is the live source for rates, thresholds, filing dates and interpretation notes.
- VAT, PAYE/UIF and customs obligations depend on activity, turnover, employees and imports.
- Use a registered tax practitioner for filing positions; this page is a navigation guide only.
