- 3.2.4 Year of assessment and filing of income tax returns
3.2.3 Change of address
The TA Act requires that if a person’s postal, physical address or electronic address used for communication with SARS changes, the person must, within 21 business days after the change, notify SARS of the new address. 10 Registration on SARS eFiling can be done for income tax, VAT and PAYE. Tax Guide for Small Businesses (2020/2021) 9 3.2.4 Year of assessment and filing of income tax returns The year of assessment for natural persons and trusts covers a 12-month period commencing on 1 March of a specific year and ending on the last day of February of the following year. The year of assessment of a deceased person commences on 1 March and ends on the date of death. An insolvent person must submit two returns for a year of assessment, one for the period commencing on 1 March and ending on the date preceding the date of sequestration, and one commencing on the date of sequestration and ending on the last day of February. A natural person ceasing to be a resident should submit a return for the period commencing on 1 March and ending on the day preceding the date that the person ceases to be a resident. Persons other than companies (for example, a natural person or trust) who cannot conveniently return income from a business or profession to the last day of February may apply at a SARS branch office for permission from the Commissioner to draw up accounts to a closing date other than the last day of February. Any request of this nature is subject to conditions that the Commissioner may impose. Generally, the closing date so approved will determine in which year of assessment the results for the accounting period must be included and the dates on which provisional tax payments must be made. 11 A company’s year of assessment ends on a date that coincides with its financial year-end. The year of assessment of a company with a financial year-end of 30 June will run from 1 July and end on 30 June of the following year. A company that ceases to be a resident, must submit a return for the period commencing on the first day of the year of assessment and ending on the day preceding the date that the company ceases to be a resident. Companies are occasionally required to close their financial accounts earlier or later than the last day of their financial year for various reasons. Companies are allowed to align reporting for tax purposes with the period ending on the day their financial accounts are closed. A company intending to close its financial accounts either within 10 days before or after the end of a year of assessment must submit an application to a SARS branch office for permission to draw up financial accounts to a closing date other than the end of its financial year. Approval by the Commissioner does not result in a change in the company’s financial year-end and therefore does not change its year of assessment. 12 Income tax returns must be submitted manually or electronically, depending on the nature of the taxpayer, by a specific date each year. 13 The date is published for information of the general public and is promoted by a filing season campaign to encourage compliance in this regard.
