Freelance & Contracting Income Tax Support

Specialised Support for Untaxed and Foreign-Sourced Income

If you earn income through freelance work, contracts, or foreign sources that aren’t taxed at the source, you’re responsible for declaring and paying provisional tax.

We help independent earners stay compliant, avoid penalties, and optimise their tax position.

What We Offer

We provide full support for:

Provisional tax calculations and submissions
Annual tax return filing with final figures
Income and expense tracking
Guidance on what can be deducted based on your role and contract

Documents You’ll Need

Proof of income (invoices or contracts)
Categorised expense summary
Annual income and expense totals
Bank statements or records (if available)

Important: Keep every relevant receipt or slip from the start of your contract. Accurate record-keeping is essential.

Who This is For

This service is designed for:

Freelancers and consultants
Independent contractors
Professionals earning from untaxed or foreign sources while based in South Africa

Why This Matters

Freelancers and contractors face different tax rules than salaried employees.

Filing accurately and on time is critical to avoid penalties and reduce unnecessary tax liability.
