Articles From Practice
The articles published here cover taxation, accounting and SARS-related matters that I encounter in practice. Topics include tax compliance, tax returns, provisional tax, SARS administration, record-keeping, accounting systems and other issues relevant to taxpayers, sole proprietors and service-based business owners in South Africa.
Many of the articles originate from recurring questions, practical challenges and situations that arise while working with clients. While every taxpayer’s circumstances are different, the underlying tax, accounting and administrative issues are often shared by many.
