3.8.14 Submission of VAT returns
One of SARS’ objectives is to promote the use of technology to ensure voluntary compliance, including the submission of returns and payments. As a result, vendors who have the capability to digitally connect with SARS are encouraged to submit their VAT 201 returns and to make payment electronically via SARS eFiling. Vendors that use SARS eFiling must ensure that the VAT 201 return and the payment for the tax period concerned are received by no later than the last business day of the month following the end of the vendor’s tax period. Category C vendors must file VAT returns on SARS eFiling and make VAT payments electronically on SARS eFiling or by EFT through internet banking. Although SARS eFiling is now the preferred platform for submitting returns and payments, manual submission of returns can still be made in exceptional circumstances. A vendor that chooses to manually submit a VAT 201 return to SARS must ensure that it is received by the 25 th of the month following the end of the vendor’s tax period. Payment, if applicable, must also be made on or before the 25 th day of that month. In the event that the 25 th of the month falls over a weekend or on a public holiday, the vendor must ensure that the submission of the VAT 201 return and the payment are made to SARS no later than the last business day before such 25 th day. Vendors must ensure that the payment is received in the SARS bank account on the due date concerned to avoid the levying of penalty and interest for late payment. In order to manually submit a VAT return, the vendor will be required to call at a SARS branch office for assistance in completing the return online, since SARS no longer accepts physical VAT 201 returns for capturing. Manual returns are also no longer issued to vendors. SARS branches do not accept manual forms of VAT payment, nor is physical mail handled anymore. VAT payments in respect of “manual” submissions of returns as explained above must be made electronically by EFT through internet banking or over the counter at the bank. Tax Guide for Small Businesses (2020/2021) 66 As South African banks ceased accepting cheque payments with effect from 1 January 2021, SARS may also not accept cheque payments. All interactions with SARS must be done either on SARS eFiling, through email or other approved electronic channels provided by SARS on the SARS website. See the VAT 404 – Guide for Vendors and the SARS website for more information on electronic submission of returns and managing of payments. Download 0.78 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
