How SARS IRP6 Provisional Tax Payments Work

Provisional taxpayers in South Africa submit two mandatory IRP6 returns per tax year: the first payment is due six months into the tax year (typically 31 August for individuals and February year-end companies), and the second payment is due at the end of the tax year (28 February). Accurate estimation prevents the 20% under-estimation penalty under Paragraph 20 of the Fourth Schedule to the Income Tax Act.

This is an estimate, not tax advice. This calculator is provided for general guidance only. It applies standard rates and thresholds and cannot account for your full circumstances — rebates, exemptions, exclusions, prior assessments, or rules specific to your entity type may change the result materially.

This estimates the annual liability. An actual IRP6 payment is calculated on the basic amount or an estimate of taxable income, less employees' tax and any prior payment for the year.

Rates and thresholds change, most commonly at the start of the tax year in March. Always confirm figures against the current SARS tables before relying on them, and speak to a registered practitioner before making a financial or compliance decision. My Accountant accepts no liability for any action taken on the basis of a figure produced here.
