What SARS Doesn't Tell You

Your business pays tax, and that is the law. How much it pays is shaped by choices, and many South African owners never realise they are making them. This book picks up where the basics end, for people who already know how SARS and eFiling work.

What SARS Doesn't Tell You explores the allowances, incentives, and structures written into the law. You will compare when a company structure beats a personal one, work through VAT registration and strategy, and review deductions that often go unmentioned. The book covers BEE-related and other tax incentives, provisional tax, sector-specific strategies, and how to handle a dispute with SARS through the proper channels.

Later chapters look at business structure optimization and give you a business tax calendar so deadlines stop catching you out. It suits company owners, sole proprietors, and growing entrepreneurs who suspect their accountant is filing returns but not reviewing strategy. Always confirm decisions with a qualified practitioner.
