Understanding common tax pitfalls can help you stay compliant and maximize your savings. Here are five mistakes to avoid:
- 📅 Late tax submissions – Missing deadlines can result in penalties and interest charges. Always stay on top of your tax filing schedule!
2. 🚨 Incorrect VAT calculations – Overpaying or underpaying VAT can cause serious compliance issues. It’s essential to get your numbers right.
3. 📊 Not keeping financial records – Without proper records, you could struggle to justify expenses and claim deductions, leading to possible SARS audits.
