Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

for Individual Tax Services

Do I need to submit an income tax return in South Africa if I only earn a salary?

Not always. If you meet certain criteria, such as earning below a specific threshold (e.g., in recent tax years, below R500,000 from a single employer with no other income sources and no medical aid/retirement fund contributions that are not PAYE-deducted), you may not be required to submit. However, it's often beneficial to submit if you have deductions to claim (like medical expenses not covered by your employer, or retirement annuity contributions) or if you want to ensure your tax affairs are fully reconciled. It's always best to check with SARS or a tax professional.

What is provisional tax, and how do I know if I'm a provisional taxpayer as an individual?

Provisional tax is a way for SARS to collect income tax on earnings that aren't subject to PAYE (Pay As You Earn) deductions, like rental income, business profits (if you're a sole proprietor), or investment income. You are generally considered a provisional taxpayer if you earn taxable income that is not remuneration (e.g., from employment) or if you earn remuneration as an independent contractor. Even if you're employed, significant additional income might make you a provisional taxpayer. We can help you determine your status.

How does Capital Gains Tax (CGT) affect me if I sell my property or shares?

If you sell a primary residence, there's a significant exclusion on the capital gain (currently R2 million), meaning if your profit is below this, no CGT applies. For other properties or shares, any profit made from the sale (capital gain) is added to your taxable income for the year, and a portion of it is then taxed at your marginal income tax rate. It's a complex area, and accurate calculations are crucial to avoid overpaying.

Can Esti MaGuire Tax & Accounting help me if SARS has flagged my tax account or I owe them money?

Absolutely. We specialize in assisting individuals with SARS audits, managing tax arrears, disputing penalties, and handling objections. It's crucial not to ignore correspondence from SARS. We can act as your representative, communicate with SARS on your behalf, help you compile necessary documentation, and work towards resolving your tax issues efficiently and effectively, aiming to minimize your liabilities.

I've been investing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Do I need to declare this to SARS?

Yes, absolutely. SARS views cryptocurrency as an intangible asset for tax purposes. If you dispose of your crypto assets (e.g., selling them for fiat currency, exchanging them for other crypto, or using them to purchase goods/services), any profit you make may be subject to Capital Gains Tax or, in some cases, income tax (if you're considered a trader). It's essential to keep meticulous records of all your crypto transactions, including dates, values, and purposes. We provide specialized advice and submission services for crypto currency tax to ensure your compliance.

What is a Tax Clearance Certificate and why might I, as an individual, need one?

A Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC) confirms that your tax affairs with SARS are in order. While often associated with businesses applying for tenders, individuals may need a TCC for various reasons, such as applying for emigration, certain visa applications, foreign investment allowances, or other specific legal and financial requirements. We can assist you with the application process to ensure you obtain your TCC efficiently.
