📊 WHEN SHOULD YOUR ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BE INDEPENDENTLY REVIEWED? 📊

Many business owners assume that because their company is not audited, no further assurance is required. However, this is not always the case!

🔍 An Independent Review (IDR) may be required depending on:
✅ Your company's Public Interest (PI) Score
✅ The ownership structure of the company
✅ Whether the shareholders are also the directors
✅ The requirements contained in your MOI (Memorandum of Incorporation)

In general, a company may require an Independent Review if:
✔️ Its Annual Financial Statements are prepared for general purposes
✔️ It is not owner-managed
✔️ A trust, company, or other entity holds shares in the business
✔️ The Companies Act requires additional assurance over the financial information

⚠️ A Compilation Report and an Independent Review are NOT the same thing.

An Independent Review provides limited assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatements, giving shareholders, financiers, and stakeholders greater confidence in the information presented.

Not sure whether your company requires an Independent Review?

📞 Contact AcuTax (Pty) Ltd for a compliance review of your company's structure, PI Score, and Annual Financial Statements.

Stay compliant. Stay protected. Stay informed.

💼 VAT TIPS FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS 💼

Are you making the most of your VAT deductions while staying compliant with SARS?

Many small business owners unknowingly miss legitimate VAT claims or make costly mistakes that can trigger penalties and audits.

✅ Keep valid tax invoices for all business purchases
✅ Claim input VAT only on expenses directly related to your taxable business activities
✅ Ensure suppliers are VAT registered before claiming VAT
✅ Submit VAT returns on time to avoid penalties and interest
✅ Separate personal and business expenses
✅ Keep accurate accounting records and supporting documentation for at least 5 years

⚠️ Common Mistakes:
❌ Claiming VAT on private expenses
❌ Missing VAT submission deadlines
❌ Claiming VAT without a valid tax invoice
❌ Incorrectly treating zero-rated and exempt supplies

Remember: Good record-keeping is the foundation of VAT compliance and can save your business money while reducing the risk of SARS disputes.

⚠️ Who Needs to Register with the Department of Labour?

👉 This applies to:

✔️ Part-time employees
✔️ Domestic workers
✔️ Casual staff exceeding 24 hours per month

💡 Even if it’s just one employee, you are still required to register.

👷‍♂️ Why registration is important:

✔️ Occupational diseases
✔️ Medical expenses and loss of income

You may be personally liable for all claims
Face penalties and interest
Be flagged during compliance checks

⚠️ Registered for PAYE & UIF… but are you registered with the Department of Labour?

Many employers believe that being registered with SARS for PAYE and UIF means they are fully compliant — but that’s not always the case.

👉 If you have employees, you may also be required to register with the Department of Labour (COIDA / WCA).

👷‍♀️ Why this matters:
The Compensation Fund provides cover for:
✔️ Workplace injuries
✔️ Occupational diseases
✔️ Medical costs and loss of income

❗ If you are not registered:

You could be held personally liable for employee claims
Face penalties and backdated assessments
Risk non-compliance during audits and inspections

💡 Being registered for UIF ≠ being registered for COIDA

✅ How AcuTax can assist:
• COIDA / WCA registration with the Department of Labour
• Submission of annual Return of Earnings
• Ensuring full compliance across all employer obligations

Let’s make sure your business is fully compliant — not just partially ✔️

📩 Contact us today for assistance

⚠️ Do You Have Employees Working More Than 24 Hours Per Month?

If the answer is YES, then your business is legally required to be registered for WCA / COIDA (Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act).

👷‍♂️ What does this mean for you as an employer?
If your employee gets injured or becomes ill due to work-related activities, the Compensation Fund covers:
✔️ Medical expenses
✔️ Loss of income
✔️ Disability or death benefits

❗ But if you are NOT registered:

You may be personally liable for all costs
You could face penalties and interest
Increased compliance checks may flag your business

💡 Even if you only employ 1 staff member (including part-time staff working more than 24 hours per month), registration is required.

✅ How AcuTax Can Help:
We assist with:
• WCA / COIDA registration
• Annual Return of Earnings submissions
• Ongoing compliance and support
