What is ITR12?
The annual income tax return for individuals, including sole proprietors, submitted to SARS during the yearly filing season.
The ITR12 declares an individual's income for the tax year from March to February: salary from IRP5s, business or freelance income, rental, interest, capital gains and allowable deductions. SARS issues an assessment showing tax payable or refundable.
SARS sets the filing season dates each year, with a later deadline for provisional taxpayers. Many salaried people receive an auto-assessment, but you must still check it and file a return if anything is missing.
