21 August 2025 – August marks a significant period in the tax calendar. With Individual Filing Season under way, taxpayers are reminded that submissions for the first period of Provisional Tax Returns and Payments (IRP6) are due by 31 August. In this August issue, we review key discussions from the 12th Annual Tax Indaba regarding the responsibilities of tax practitioners and emphasise the importance of clearly defining the scope of services provided. Please also note recent updates to the SARS Online Query System (SOQS).
