My Business Tax

My Business Tax explains how South African tax actually applies to your business, in plain English rather than legislation.

NOT A GOVERNMENT APP: My Business Tax is an independent educational app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting on behalf of the South African Revenue Service (SARS) or any government entity, and it cannot file returns or make payments to SARS.

Built for business owners, not accountants. All figures use SARS rates for the 2027 tax year (1 March 2026 to 28 February 2027).


FREE, NO SUBSCRIPTION NEEDED

• SARS Deadline Calendar - provisional tax, VAT201, EMP201 and annual returns, with what each one actually requires

IMPORTANT

My Business Tax provides general educational information about South African tax. It is not tax, legal, accounting or financial advice, and using it does not create a professional relationship. Tax outcomes depend on your specific circumstances. Always confirm material decisions with a registered tax practitioner before acting.

Figures are based on rates published by SARS and are updated after each annual Budget.
