SARS owes you a refund. So what's holding it up? 👀 Banking verification, outstanding returns or missing documents could be delaying your money. 🔎 Find out why: zurl.co/h4Opu #SARS #VATRefund #TheBeancounter

SARS hit you with a penalty. Now what? ⚠️ Pay it? Ignore it? There may be a third option: a Request for Remission (RFR), which could reduce or remove a qualifying penalty. Here's what you need to know: 🔗 zurl.co/GsTrQ #TheBeancounter #SARS

Check the revenue. Check the profit. Close the PDF. Sound familiar? 👀 That's not reading your management accounts. That's checking the score. Your numbers should drive decisions, not just report results. Read more: zurl.co/jdsQU #TheBeancounter #ManagementAccounts

The year isn't over yet. ⏳ Nine months of numbers. Three months to make them count. Protect your profit, strengthen your cash flow and start 2027 prepared. Three moves worth making before December. 🚀 #TheBeancounter #BusinessGrowth

Cape Town brought the wind. The @Xero Awards brought the excitement! Being named a Top 5 finalist for Digital Practice Champion of the Year is a moment worth celebrating. Congratulations to all the winners and finalists! 💙 #XeroAwards #TheBeancounter #Xero

That R800,000 gain? It might not be the number your tax is based on. 👀 Certain costs involved in buying, improving and selling an asset can affect the Capital Gains Tax calculation. Know the tax impact before you sell. thebeancounter.co.za/underst…

You sent the invoice. They received it. The due date came and went. And somehow, you’re the one who feels awkward following up. 👀 Good client relationships and clear payment expectations can exist at the same time. Slide 4 is worth saving. #CashFlow #BusinessOwners

What a beautiful thing it is to call this place home. Different roots, different stories, different ways of being South African. There is room in its story for all of ours. Happy Heritage Day, South Africa. 🇿🇦💙 #HeritageDay #SouthAfrica #TheBeancounter

Filing your tax return? Have the paperwork ready. 👀 IRP5s, medical aid certificates, retirement annuity certificates and any other supporting documents relevant to your return. And don’t assume pre populated means correct. Check before you submit. #SARS #TaxSeason

South Africa’s VAT registration threshold has changed for the first time in 17 years. From 1 April 2026, the compulsory threshold increased from R1 million to R2.3 million. But should your VAT status change too? Not necessarily. ⚠️ Swipe through before making a move.

Three months to year end. Quick budget check: 📈 Is revenue ahead or behind target? 💸 Which costs are higher than planned? 🎯 Are you on track to finish the year above or below budget? Can’t answer all three? Time to revisit the budget. #Budgeting #BusinessOwners

SARS isn’t starting from zero when your tax return arrives. 👀 Your financial data may already be sitting with SARS. If what you declare doesn’t match what they already hold, the mismatch can trigger a flag. Before you file, make sure the numbers tell the same story.

Big ambition. Big questions. Even bigger futures. 🚀 We loved connecting with students at the @witsbschool School Career Day and meeting some of the talent coming next. The future looks good from where we’re standing. 💙 #TheBeancounter #WitsBusinessSchool

Payday is only part of the payroll story. 👀 PAYE. UIF. SDL. EMP201. What happens after payday matters too. Swipe through for the side of payroll every business owner should know. → #Payroll #SARS #SouthAfrica

7 years. R4 million turnover. One wanted out. No shareholders' agreement. The conversation that would have prevented it would have taken two hours. Before you partner - have the difficult conversations first. 🔗 thebeancounter.co.za/when-to… #BusinessPartners #TheBeancounter

Received an unexpected SARS assessment? Don't assume it's correct. One client received an estimated assessment of R340,000. Their actual tax liability was R87,000 after submitting the correct information. Time matters. Speak to your accountant. #SARS #Tax

Most business owners don't know this. If SARS issues an estimated assessment, you generally have 80 business days to lodge a formal objection. Miss that deadline, and the assessment could become legally enforceable. Know your deadline before you need it. Don't ignore it.
