Company Tax Returns Benoni: Who Must Submit, and Why It's Not Optional for Dormant Companies

Corporate tax is collected by SARS from companies based on taxable income earned during the year. Every company registered for tax, whether actively trading or completely dormant, is required to submit annual tax returns. A dormant company doesn't get an exemption, it needs to submit a nil return confirming there was no income, which many owners assume isn't necessary until SARS flags it.

We handle your company tax return submission accurately, from R590.

Provisional Tax vs. Your Final Company Tax Return

These are two separate obligations that often get confused. Missing this distinction is one of the most common ways companies end up with unexpected SARS penalties.

Provisional Tax Estimated tax payments made during the year, based on projected taxable income, so you're not left with one large bill at year end.
Final Company Tax Return (ITR14) The actual annual return, reconciling real income against what was estimated and paid provisionally, submitted after your Annual Financial Statements are ready.

You need both. Paying provisional tax doesn't remove the requirement to submit the final return, and the final return can't be accurately completed without your AFS for the year.

Legal Tax Planning, and What Happens If You Miss the Deadline

Correct tax planning helps your company pay as little tax as legally possible, using deductions and allowances SARS actually permits, not aggressive positions that invite an audit. There's a real difference between minimising tax legally and taking risks that later trigger SARS audit attention.

Missing your submission deadline results in SARS administrative penalties, calculated per month the return remains outstanding, and these accumulate regardless of whether your company owes any actual tax. A dormant company that ignores its nil return obligation can rack up penalties for a filing that would have taken minutes to submit correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a dormant company still need to submit a tax return?
Yes. A dormant company must submit a nil return confirming no income was earned. Skipping this can still result in SARS penalties, even though no tax is owed.
What's the difference between provisional tax and my company's final tax return?
Provisional tax is an estimated payment made during the year. The final return (ITR14) reconciles actual income against those estimates once your financial year ends. Both are required.
What happens if my company misses the tax return deadline?
SARS charges administrative penalties calculated monthly for as long as the return is outstanding, regardless of whether any tax is actually owed.
How much does it cost to submit a company tax return?
Our fee is R590 per submission, covering preparation and filing of your company's ITR14.
Can you reduce how much tax my company pays legally?
Yes, through legitimate tax planning using deductions and allowances SARS permits. This is different from aggressive positions that risk triggering an audit, and we'll always tell you plainly which category any strategy falls into.
