Tax is probably the only thing I managed to get right about my finances when I first started working. I had no idea what was going on, but I was sufficiently scared of the government to pay someone else to deal with it. The R800 rebate I got that year might as well have been a million bucks. I didn’t understand at the time why I was getting the money, but I was happy to roll with it.
If you’ve never filled out a tax return form, this is the tax year to start. If you’re worried that you left it too long and SARS might take your things, pay someone to help you. A small fee paid to a tax professional is worth your peace of mind.
Whether you like it or not, tax is much part of your financial planning as inflation and bank fees. You can hate it, but you still have to do it. Spend a little time on it and you’ll probably come to enjoy becoming efficient at it.
If you’d prefer some guidance, we’ve heard great things about Tax Tim.
