In August 2026, SARS released its VAT Modernisation Consultation Paper, outlining plans for a future VAT system built around e-Invoicing, digital information exchange and e-Reporting.

"Provisional tax" is one of the most misunderstood phrases in South African business. 👇

The myth: it's an extra tax for the self-employed. The reality: it's the same income tax you'd pay anyway —-just spread across the year in instalments instead of one year-end shock.

The essentials:
• Two payments - end of August and end of February
• An optional third top-up at the end of September
• A 20% penalty waiting for careless underestimates, plus 10% for late payment

The difference between stressful and predictable is simply planning ahead. Estimate accurately, diarise the dates, and provisional tax becomes a non-event.

SBC Tax vs Turnover Tax: Is your business using the right tax regime?

Many South African small business owners pay tax without realising that there may be more suitable tax options available to them.

Depending on your business structure, turnover and circumstances, you could potentially qualify for:

📊 Small Business Corporation (SBC) tax – offering preferential tax rates and certain tax incentives for qualifying businesses.

🧾 Turnover Tax for Micro Businesses – a simplified tax system designed to reduce the tax and administrative burden for qualifying smaller businesses.

But which one is right for your business? And are you actually eligible?

In our latest HM Accounting blog, we break down SBC vs Micro Business Turnover Tax, how they work, the key qualifying requirements and what business owners should consider before choosing a tax regime.

The Mid-Year Financial Health Check
📈 Halfway through the year: How is your business holding up financially?

August is the perfect time to stop treating accounting like a year-end panic and start using it as a quarterly roadmap. If you only look at your profit and loss statements when SARS calls, you’re missing out on vital growth opportunities.

Ask yourself these three quick questions this week:
1. Cash Flow: Are your clients paying on time, or are outstanding invoices draining your momentum?
2. Expenses: Are there recurring subscriptions or overhead costs you can trim right now?
3. Tax Readiness: Are you setting aside what you owe monthly, or bracing for a massive surprise next filing season?

Good accounting keeps you compliant; great accounting helps you scale.
Let’s look at your books together. Send us an email/message or reach out via our website to chat with the team at HM Accounting.
