Directors: Watch Your Liquidity and Solvency
As a company director you need to be aware of the Companies Act’s requirements in regard to testing for and maintaining liquidity and solvency.  Failure to do so not only risks the health and viability of your company, it also exposes you to the possibility of personal liability.

We look at what these concepts entail, at how to monitor them effectively, and at your legal obligations if danger signs appear.

UPCOMMING IMPORTANT INCOME TAX DATES TO DIARIASE

28 FEBRUARY 2018  -  SUBMISSION DEADLINE FOR 2017 INCOME TAX RETURNS OF COMPANIES AND CLOSE CORPORATIONS WITH A FEBRUARY YEAR END

2018 SECOND PROVISIONAL TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS DUE 28 FEBRUARY 2018

SDK will commence the process of working with you to determine your second provisional tax payment and to ensure compliance with SARS, from middle January 2018. In the meantime, here are a few factors to consider:
  1. Provisional tax is not a type of tax, it should rather be seen as a pre-payment of your income tax.

  2. It is highly recommended that the taxpayer should not submit an estimate which is less than the basic amount.

  3. Payments to SARS should be made by 26 February 2018 to limit the risk of payments be deemed late.

SARS PAYMENT METHODS

Please note that SARS no longer accepts payment per cheques. Alternative payment options are the following:
  1. Electronic Transfer (EFT)

  2. Making payment at your bank using the tax statement as proof

  3. E-Filing
Please note that banks will also not accept cheques as a method of payment to SARS.

Sugar Tax: Is It Good For Us?
ArticleImage Emotions always run high when new taxes are levied, and the “sugar tax” is no exception.  In one corner we have the Department of Health aiming to reduce diseases like obesity, diabetes, heart disease etc.  In the other we have the sugar industry, forecasting job losses and taking issue with the Department’s assertion that there is indeed an inherent correlation between sugar consumption and NCDs.
