Emergency Tax Relief: Is Your Business Eligible and What Should You Consider?

In just a few days, on 7 September, employees’ taxes for August 2021 are due for payment to SARS. This is the first opportunity for companies to claim the emergency tax relief measures recently introduced by National Treasury to assist businesses with their cash flow and rebuilding over the next few months. 

While for many companies this may be a crucial lifeline as they fight for survival after more than 18 months of lockdowns and weeks of riots and looting, it is not a decision to be taken lightly. Before submitting your company’s August EMP201 return, verify that the business is eligible for the relief measures, determine exactly how to calculate and apply the tax relief, and ensure all the bases have been covered for the likely event of a SARS verification or audit. 

We’ll look also at the excise duty relief available to alcohol sector businesses.

SMEs and Microinsurance: Benefits and Risks

Microinsurance in South Africa is regarded as the next big thing, however there is still a lot to be learned about this growing area of insurance and how small businesses and their employees may benefit.

Traditionally the microinsurance sector offered only funeral cover. However, since the Insurance Act of 2017 became effective on 1 July 2018, it now offers more options. On a practical level, microinsurance now offers life insurance, credit life insurance, risk insurance and funeral cover.  In addition, non-life insurance categories of motor insurance, property insurance, legal expenses cover as well as accident and health insurance are available.
