NCVO & Co. Integrated Services

🧾 Don’t just accept. First, check.

SARS auto-assessments can be convenient, but they are not always final.

Before you accept, make sure important information has been checked, including medical aid, retirement annuity contributions, travel claims, additional income and any business-related details that may affect your assessment.

A quick click without a proper review can lead to mistakes, missed deductions or unnecessary stress later.

Let NCVO & Co help you review your auto-assessment before you accept.

Clarity today. Confidence tomorrow.

❄️ Winter is here. Tax season is next.

Many business owners wait until SARS opens filing season before getting their documents ready, but that is often where the stress starts.

Now is the right time to gather your invoices, bank statements, logbooks, payroll records and proof of expenses so that your business is prepared before the rush begins.

Tax season rewards the prepared.

Let NCVO & Co help you get your books in order with practical bookkeeping, accounting and compliance support.

VAT Compliance

🧾 VAT can quickly become a cash-flow problem if it is not managed correctly.

For VAT-registered businesses, it is important to keep accurate records throughout the month — not only when submission time arrives.

Every invoice, expense slip and transaction plays a role in calculating the correct VAT amount. When records are incomplete or payments are left too late, your business may face unnecessary pressure, penalties or interest.

Good VAT management means:

✅ Knowing what you owe
✅ Keeping proper supporting documents
✅ Submitting on time
✅ Planning cash flow around VAT payments
✅ Avoiding last-minute calculations

VAT is part of doing business, but it should never catch you off guard.

Let NCVO & Co help you manage your VAT records and submissions with confidence.

Mid-Year Financial Checkup

📊 Halfway through the year is the perfect time to check your numbers.

A mid-year financial checkup helps you see exactly where your business stands before the second half of the year begins.

It is the ideal time to review your:

Bank reconciliations
Invoices and receipts
Supplier accounts
VAT records
Payroll information
Outstanding debtors
Monthly reports

When your books are up to date, you can plan better, manage cash flow more confidently, and avoid last-minute pressure when SARS or year-end deadlines arrive.

Your finances should give you clarity, not confusion.

Mid-Year Financial Checkup

📊 We are halfway through the year, are your books up to date?

May and June is the perfect time to pause, review and get your business finances back in order before the second half of the year becomes busy.

Your financial records should not only be updated when SARS asks for them. Clean books help you understand your business, manage cash flow, prepare for tax, and make better decisions.

Use this month to check:

Bank reconciliations
Invoices and receipts
Supplier statements
VAT records
Payroll reports
Outstanding debtors
Monthly management accounts

Your numbers should tell the truth about your business — not surprise you at year-end.

CIPC Annual Return Reminder

🏢 Is your company anniversary coming up?

Your CIPC annual return is not optional. Companies have 30 business days from the date annual returns become due to file before they are considered non-compliant. Late filing can result in penalties.

When filing annual returns, companies and close corporations must also ensure that beneficial ownership information and the required financial accountability information are submitted where applicable.

Don’t wait until your company is marked non-compliant.

If your annual return is due soon, contact NCVO & Co.

We’ll help you keep your company records, annual returns and compliance requirements up to date.

Employee Tax Numbers Matter

📄 Does every employee have the correct tax reference number?

When submitting your EMP501, employee information must be accurate and up to date. Missing or incorrect income tax reference numbers can cause delays and errors in employee tax certificates and assessments.

This is especially important because employer data is used by SARS for employee tax assessments, auto assessments and pre-populated ITR12 returns.

A simple payroll detail today can become a bigger tax issue later.

✅ Check employee details
✅ Confirm tax reference numbers
✅ Review payroll records
✅ Submit accurately and on time

Not sure if your payroll information is ready?

Contact NCVO & Co and let us help you get your EMP501 submission in order.

⚠️ Small payroll mistakes can become big SARS problems.

Incorrect employee details, missing tax numbers, incorrect PAYE totals or payroll figures that do not reconcile can delay your EMP501 submission and create unnecessary stress for both the employer and employees.

Your payroll must match what was declared during the year and SARS expects the information to be accurate and complete during the employer reconciliation period.

Before submitting, ask yourself:

Are all employee details correct?
Do all qualifying employees have valid tax numbers?
Do PAYE, UIF and SDL totals reconcile?
Are IRP5/IT3(a) certificates accurate?

Let NCVO & Co help you review your payroll before submission. Contact us today for practical payroll and compliance support.

📌 EMP501 DEADLINE: 31 MAY 2026

Employers, this is your reminder: your EMP501 submission is not just another admin task — it directly affects your employees’ IRP5/IT3(a) certificates, auto assessments and tax returns.

SARS confirmed that the 2026 Employer Annual Declaration season runs from 1 April to 31 May 2026, and employers are required to submit accurate, complete and up-to-date payroll and tax information.

Before you submit, make sure your payroll records, employee details, PAYE, UIF, SDL and tax reference numbers are correct.

✅ Don’t wait until the last week.
✅ Don’t submit with missing details.
✅ Don’t risk unnecessary penalties or delays.
