Paying tax is part of staying compliant. Paying more than you legally need to isn’t.

Medical tax credits, retirement contributions, qualifying donations, business incentives and certain deductions can all affect the final amount of tax payable — but the rules are not always straightforward.

Our latest article looks at some of the rebates, deductions and incentives worth knowing about during the 2026 filing season.

The first provisional tax payment for the 2027 tax year is due on 31 August 2026.

This deadline applies to qualifying individual provisional taxpayers and companies with a February financial year-end.

Provisional tax is based on estimated taxable income. This means taxpayers need to consider their expected income, allowable expenses and overall tax position before completing the IRP6 return.

A rushed or unsupported estimate can result in unnecessary risk, penalties or an unexpected tax liability later.

In our latest article, we explain:

• Who may be regarded as a provisional taxpayer
• Why provisional tax is paid during the year
• How the first provisional payment is calculated
• Why a nil IRP6 may still need to be submitted
• How to prepare before the deadline

Running a business in South Africa means managing several ongoing compliance responsibilities.

CIPC, SARS, UIF and COIDA each have different requirements, submission processes and deadlines. Falling behind can result in penalties, tax-compliance problems, delayed Letters of Good Standing, deregistration and lost business opportunities.

Compliance should not only be viewed as an administrative burden. When managed correctly, it can protect your business, strengthen its credibility and help maintain access to tenders, funding and commercial opportunities.

In our latest article, we explain:

• Why compliance is an ongoing responsibility
• The risks associated with non-compliance
• The key obligations businesses need to manage
• How professional support can save time, cost and frustration

Every business leader makes decisions they later wish they could change.

A product may have been launched too soon. A new employee may not have been the right fit. A business opportunity may not have delivered the expected result.

A poor decision does not automatically make someone a poor leader. What matters is how quickly the problem is acknowledged, understood and corrected.

In our latest article, we look at how business leaders can:

• Take accountability without losing confidence
• Identify the real cause of the mistake
• Turn the lesson into a stronger business process
• Make better-informed decisions in future
