📊 Provisional taxpayers: SARS is asking more questions about your numbers.

SARS has updated its Guide for Provisional Tax to clarify that it can ask taxpayers to justify their provisional tax estimates and provide supporting information about their:

💰 Income
🧾 Expenses
📊 Tax calculations
📁 Supporting documentation

If SARS isn't satisfied with the information provided, it can increase the estimate used to calculate your provisional tax liability.

And you may have only 10 business days to provide the requested documents.

This is why good bookkeeping isn't just about knowing what happened last month.

Your books need to give you a reliable picture of your income and expenses — because your tax estimate needs to be based on numbers you can actually support.

Good bookkeeping makes tax compliance a whole lot easier.

If you are a non-provisional taxpayer who was not auto-assessed, your 2026 individual income tax return (ITR12) is due by:

📅 Friday, 23 October 2026

Don't leave it until the last minute!

Before submitting, make sure you have checked your:
📄 IRP5/IT3(a) certificates
🏥 Medical aid information
💼 Additional income
🚗 Travel claims, where applicable
🧾 Deductible expenses and supporting documents

And remember — don't assume your return is correct just because the information is pre-populated by SARS.

Take the time to check your return carefully before you submit.

🧾 VAT is going digital. Are your records ready?

SARS is consulting on a modernised VAT administration system that could increasingly connect VAT compliance with businesses' transactional systems.

The proposed model includes:

💻 e-Invoicing
🔄 e-Reporting
📊 Structured transaction data
🤖 Greater use of data analytics and automation

This doesn't mean every business suddenly needs to change its VAT system tomorrow.

But it does mean good record-keeping and proper invoicing are becoming more important than ever.

If your business still has a “I'll sort out the paperwork later” approach to VAT… now might be a good time to rethink that. 👀

🌸 HELLO OCTOBER! 🌸

A new month, a fresh beginning, and a beautiful reminder to pause, appreciate, and look after ourselves and those we love. 💕

October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month; a time to raise awareness, encourage regular checks, support those affected, and honour the strength of every woman facing this journey. 🎀

💗 Early detection can make a difference.
💗 Know your body. Check your breasts. Encourage the women you love to do the same.
💗 And above all, never underestimate the power of support, kindness and hope.

Here’s to a month filled with hope, courage, kindness and new beginnings.

🌷 Welcome, October. May you be a beautiful one. 🎀

📚 Small business reminder: Your bookkeeping matters.

Bookkeeping isn't just about keeping SARS happy.

Good, up-to-date books help you:

💰 Know where your money is going
📊 Understand whether your business is actually making a profit
🧾 Keep track of what you owe and what you're owed
📅 Stay on top of VAT, PAYE and other deadlines
💡 Make better business decisions
🚨 Spot problems before they become expensive problems

And perhaps most importantly…

You can't make good business decisions with numbers you don't trust.

Don't leave your books until tax season.
Your business deserves better than a once-a-year financial panic. 😅

Keep your books current. Keep your business informed.

Got an auto-assessment from SARS? Don't just accept it! 👀

SARS has extended the deadline for certain provisional taxpayers who received an auto-assessment to request a reduced or additional assessment.

📅 New deadline: 22 January 2027

But remember: an auto-assessment is based on information SARS has received. It doesn't necessarily mean SARS has every deduction, expense or piece of income relevant to you.

Check it. Understand it. And if something is wrong, correct it.

Need help making sense of your assessment? That's what we're here for.

For borrowers 💳🏠🚗
If you have a home loan, vehicle finance, personal loan or other debt linked to prime, your interest rate may increase.

That means:
Your monthly repayments could increase.
You could pay more interest over the remaining term of your loan.
New borrowing becomes more expensive.
Your monthly budget may come under additional pressure.

For salary earners 💰
If you're already carrying debt, the higher repayments can mean less disposable income each month.

It may be a good time to review your budget, debt repayments and emergency savings.

For pensioners & policyholders 👵🏽💼
There can also be a positive side to higher interest rates.

Pension funds, retirement annuities and certain investment policies may invest part of their money in interest-bearing assets. When interest rates rise, those investments can potentially generate more income, which means more money can flow into the investment pool and, depending on the product, may ultimately benefit the policyholder or pensioner.

⚠️ But: this doesn't mean every pension, annuity or policy dividend automatically increases. The actual impact depends on the fund's investment strategy, the assets it holds, fees, market performance and the specific terms of the policy.

The simple version:
Borrowers: 💸 Higher interest costs
Savers: 💰 Potentially better interest returns
Pension/investment policyholders: 📈 Potential benefit where funds have exposure to interest-bearing investments

A 0.25% move might sound small — but when it affects your home loan, savings and investments, it can have a meaningful impact on your overall financial picture.
