Professional Accounting Firm is Essential for Your Business
How can the HDI Group Help You?
Monthly Bookkeeping and Payroll
Bookkeeping is the process of recording and organizing financial transactions of a business. It involves maintaining accurate and up-to-date records of income and expenses, bank statements, invoices, and receipts. Payroll, on the other hand, involves calculating and processing employee salaries, tax deductions, and other employee benefits. By hiring a professional firm like HDI to handle your bookkeeping and payroll, you can free up your time and focus on other aspects of your business. We use specialized software both computer or cloud based and have the necessary expertise to ensure that your financial records are accurate and up to date. We would also provide you with regular management accounts or cloud access which can help you make informed business decisions and avoid any potential financial discrepancies and penalties.
VAT201, EMP201 & EMP501 Registrations & Submissions
In South Africa, businesses are required to submit VAT201, EMP201 and EMP501 returns to the South African Revenue Service (SARS) every month or bi-monthly for VAT and bi-annually for the EMP501s. VAT201 is a value-added tax return that reflects the VAT charged on sales and the VAT paid on purchases. EMP201 is an employer declaration of employee tax and includes details such as PAYE, UIF, and SDL, EMP501 is a summary of the EMP201’s and your employees annual tax certificate, IRP5. Submitting accurate and timely VAT201 and EMP201 returns is crucial to avoid penalties and interest charges. We have the necessary expertise and knowledge to ensure that your VAT and employee tax submissions are accurate and submitted on time. We know how to minimize your VAT liability by claiming all allowable inputs and how to structure your salaries in the most tax cost-effective manner.
We can also deal with SARS on your behalf and register for company for VAT or Payroll taxes.
Annual Financial Statements and Tax Planning
Preparing annual financial statements is a legal requirement for all South African companies. These statements include a balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. They provide a snapshot of a company’s financial performance and position. We can prepare annual financial statements that comply with the South African Companies Act and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). We are also able to audit or independently review your annual financial statements and can also provide advice on tax planning to help minimize your tax liabilities and maximize your tax savings.
Tax Return Submissions
In addition to annual financial statements, businesses are required to submit tax returns to SARS. These returns include income tax returns, provisional tax returns, and as already mentioned VAT and PAYE returns. We can assist with the preparation and submission of these returns to ensure that they are accurate and submitted on time. It is more important than ever to ensure returns are done on time as from 2023 SARS will be issuing administrative penalties for all late submissions and this administration penalty will be levied monthly until you become compliant with SARS. We also provide advice on tax planning and assist with any tax-related queries from SARS.
In conclusion, hiring a professional firm such as HDI to handle your monthly bookkeeping and payroll, assist with VAT201 and EMP201 submissions to SARS, and offer comprehensive services such as preparation of annual financial statements and tax planning and submission of relevant tax returns is crucial for any business. By outsourcing these tasks to professionals like us, you can free up your time, reduce your financial risks, and ensure compliance with South African financial and tax regulations.
