Market Context & Key Considerations
The marketplace is currently dominated by two primary factors:
- The 2026 Budget Speech: Anticipated for late February, the Budget is expected to emphasize fiscal consolidation. For SMEs, this means a likely increase in SARS enforcement and a focus on digital compliance. Proactive data accuracy is no longer optional; it is a defensive necessity.
- Second Provisional Tax (Due 28 February): This remains the most significant compliance hurdle. Accuracy is paramount, as underestimating your taxable income can lead to substantial penalties under the Tax Administration Act.
The MiMi Consulting Approach
At MiMi Consulting, we understand that tax season should be a period of strategic closure, not administrative chaos. This week, our focus for clients is on:
- Accurate Income Estimations: Utilizing current year-to-date data to ensure provisional payments are within the 80%–90% safe harbor margin.
- Incentive Optimization: Finalizing claims for Small Business Corporation (SBC) tax rates and renewable energy deductions before the window closes on February 28th.
- Audit Readiness: Ensuring all documentation aligns with the latest SARS requirements ahead of the 2026/2027 cycle.
