Question 1

How do I calculate my tax as a Potchefstroom freelancer?

Accepted Answer

Add up your invoiced income for the tax year, subtract allowable business expenses, then apply the SARS brackets and primary rebate to the remaining taxable profit. Most self-employed people in Potchefstroom pay that liability in two IRP6 provisional payments rather than monthly PAYE.

Question 2

What are the SARS submission deadlines for Potchefstroom residents?

Accepted Answer

SARS deadlines are national. Individual filing season typically opens in July and closes in October for non-provisional taxpayers, with provisional taxpayers filing on eFiling until January. IRP6 returns fall due at the end of August and the end of February. Confirm exact dates each year on the SARS site.

Question 4

Can I use Taxza if I work remotely from Potchefstroom?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you are a South African tax resident living in Potchefstroom, your worldwide income is taxable here even when clients pay you in dollars, euros or pounds.
