Compliance calendar
We track these dates for our clients so nothing is missed.
Monthly employer declaration and payment. If the 7th falls on a weekend or public holiday, it's due on the last business day before.
VAT returns and payments are due on the 25th of the month following your VAT period.
The first payment is due six months into the tax year and the second at year-end: end August and end February for February year-ends.
The interim reconciliation is due by the end of October and the annual reconciliation, with IRP5 certificates, by the end of May.
Filing season usually opens in July. Non-provisional taxpayers typically file by October, provisional taxpayers by January.
Due within 30 business days after your company's anniversary of incorporation, every year.
These dates are a general guide. SARS confirms filing-season dates each year and adjusts deadlines for weekends and public holidays.
