Register a Close Corporation/Company for income tax and obtain a tax clearance (tax clearance optional)

FAQ


  1.       When should a business entity register with SARS?
As soon as the entity is registered with CIPRO/CIPC and received a registration number it becomes mandatory to register with SARS.
2.       What if the business trades as a sole proprietor?
The owner should then register as an individual taxpayer if not already registered. If already registered the business need not to register for a separate income tax number as all income must be declared in the owner’s personal capacity.
3.       Is this the same as a VAT registration?
 
No, this is often confused but Income Tax Number and VAT number is two totally different tax types. Income tax registration is compulsory where as VAT registration depends on quite a few factors. The business must however be registered for income tax before a tax clearance or VAT number can be applied for.
 
4.     What happens after the entity has been registered for income tax?
The entity will automatically be registered for provisional tax. Provisional tax returns must be submitted twice a year where applicable. Income tax returns must also be submitted annually. Proper recordkeeping must be done and the use of professional accountant in this regard is strongly recommended.
 
5.       When will I receive the tax clearance certificate?
If you selected the option to receive a tax clearance certificate, it will be posted via priority mail to the client 5 working days after the entity is registered for income tax. This tax clearance is valid for a year.
