GUEST: NICOLAS BOTHA, TAX TEAM COMPLIENCE &PROCESSING MANAGER TAX CONSULTING

Provisional taxpayers in South Africa will have until midnight on
Thursday, 29 February, to make their second payment for the
2024 tax year – while RAs, tax-free investments and donations
are also being tallied.
A provisional taxpayer is any person who receives income other
than remuneration. Most salary earners are, therefore, non-
provisional taxpayers if they have no other sources of income.
Provisional taxpayers typically have to submit two provisional tax
returns during the tax year and then a final tax return of actual
figures after tax year-end.
A third payment is optional after the end of the tax year, but
before the issuing of the assessment by SARS.
