💼 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?

If you have employees working more than 24 hours per month, your business is required by law to register with the Department of Labour (COIDA / WCA).

👉 This applies to:
✔️ Full-time employees
✔️ 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:
The Compensation Fund covers:
✔️ Workplace injuries
✔️ Occupational diseases
✔️ Medical expenses and loss of income

❗ If you are not registered:

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

✅ How AcuTax can assist:
• WCA / COIDA registration
• Annual Return of Earnings submissions
• Ongoing compliance support

Don’t wait for a problem — make sure your business is fully compliant ✔️

⚠️ 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 ✔️

⚠️ 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

Let us handle the admin so you can focus on running your business 💼

👥 DO YOU HAVE EMPLOYEES? CHECK YOUR DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR REGISTRATION

If your business employs staff — even one employee that works 24 hours or more a month — then you are required to be registered with the Department of Labour.

Ask yourself:
✔️ Is your company registered for UIF?
✔️ Are UIF contributions submitted and paid monthly?
✔️ Are employee details correctly captured and kept up to date?

⚠️ If your company is not properly registered or compliant, you may face:

Penalties and interest

Delays with UIF claims (illness, maternity, retrenchment)

Issues during labour inspections or SARS reviews

Correct registration is not just about compliance — it protects both the employer and the employee.

📌 Unsure whether your business is correctly registered or compliant?
AcuTax can assist with Department of Labour registrations, reviews and corrections.

📩 Contact us for peace of mind and proper compliance.
