FAQ

Provisional tax is not a separate tax — it’s a way for SARS to collect your income tax in advance, based on the income you expect to earn for the year.
You’re required to pay provisional tax if you:

  • Run a business or earn freelance income

  • Earn rental income

  • Receive investment income (e.g., interest, dividends)

  • Have income not fully taxed via PAYE

If you’re earning money outside of a salary, you likely need to register and submit IRP6 returns.

You must submit two compulsory IRP6 returns during the tax year:

  • First Submission: 6 months into the financial year (usually August)

  • Second Submission: End of the financial year (usually February)

There’s also an optional third top-up in September to avoid underestimation penalties.

Missing these deadlines can result in penalties and interest from SARS.

We calculate your provisional tax based on:

  • Your previous year’s actual income

  • Your current business performance and trends

  • Allowable deductions (e.g. expenses, wear & tear)

  • Estimated taxable income for the year

If you’re unsure of your income, we help you make a realistic and SARS-compliant estimate — and adjust it later if needed.

Underpaying or missing your IRP6 submission can result in:

  • A 10% penalty on the shortfall

  • Interest charges on unpaid tax

  • Increased SARS scrutiny or audit flags

  • Ineligibility for a Tax Clearance Certificate (essential for tenders and funding)

Avoiding these issues is why accurate and timely IRP6 filing is critical — and where KPC steps in.

Yes — even if your business earned minimal or no income, SARS still expects you to submit a nil return to remain compliant.
Failing to do so can trigger penalties or cause your tax profile to fall into non-compliant status, which may affect:

  • Your ability to apply for a Tax Clearance Certificate

  • CSD registration for tenders

  • Loan or funding applications

We help you file even zero-income IRP6 submissions correctly and on time — so you avoid unnecessary admin or penalties.
