This VAT period covers January and February 2025 — both months fall within the financial year ending 28 February 2025. However the return is only filed and paid in March 2025 — outside the financial year. This is correct treatment. The liability is recognised in FY2025 but the cash payment falls in FY2026.

🔴 Finding 1 — Short Payment: May/Jun 2024
VAT201 for May/Jun 2024 declared net VAT of R16,350.00 but only R15,116.00 was paid to SARS (receipt SARS-2345678). The shortfall of R1,234.00 remains outstanding per the SARS Statement of Account. SARS may charge interest and penalties on this amount.

Narration: VAT short payment May/Jun 2024 — SARSEF SARS-2345678
R 1,234.00
🔴 Finding 2 — Post-Submission Posting Error: May/Jun 2024
The GL control account (8400/000) shows output VAT of R271,394.00 for the year, but the VAT201 returns declare R272,628.00. The difference of R1,234.00 relates to the May/Jun 2024 period — a journal was posted to the GL after the return was submitted, reducing the GL balance. The return cannot be amended. This difference must be documented and carried forward to the next period's return.
Carry-forward journal — include in Mar/Apr 2025 return:

Narration: Post-submission posting error May/Jun 2024 — carry to Mar/Apr 2025 return
R 1,234.00
⚠️ Finding 3 — Possible Wrong Tax Code: Input VAT
The implied input check shows that Input VAT ÷ 15% = R825,173.00 in implied VAT-bearing expenses, but the GL shows only R815,040.00 in VAT-bearing expense accounts. The R10,133.00 difference suggests either: (a) input VAT was claimed on an exempt or zero-rated purchase, or (b) an expense was posted with incorrect VAT tax code in Pastel. Review the Pastel tax report and creditor invoice listing for miscoded transactions.
R 10,133.00
ℹ️ Finding 4 — Timing Difference: Jan/Feb 2025 Straddling Period
The Jan/Feb 2025 VAT return covers income earned within FY2025 but is filed and paid in March 2025 (FY2026). This is a timing difference only — not a variance. The VAT liability of R22,222.00 is correctly recognised in FY2025 current liabilities. No correcting journal required. Confirm this amount appears in trade and other payables on the balance sheet.

🔴
E@syfile finding: Medical aid fringe benefit (code 3651) of R24,000 appears on the director's IRP5 but was not included in the EMP201 returns. This means the taxable income on the EMP201 is understated by R24,000 and PAYE may be understated by approximately R8,640 (@ 36% marginal rate). This must be corrected before the IRP5 submission.
ℹ️
Reconcile the IRP5 totals against what appears in the GL. The salary expense accounts in Pastel must agree to the IRP5 gross figures. The PAYE/SDL/UIF control accounts must agree to the EMP201 totals.

🔴 Finding 1 — Medical Aid Fringe Benefit Not on EMP201
Director J.A. van der Merwe's IRP5 shows a medical aid fringe benefit (code 3651) of R24,000 for FY2025. This fringe benefit was not included in the monthly EMP201 returns — meaning taxable income was understated by R24,000 and PAYE may be understated by approximately R8,640 (@ 36% marginal rate). This must be disclosed and corrected on the E@syfile annual reconciliation before 31 May 2025. An amended EMP501 may be required.

⚠️ Finding 2 — SDL Expense GL Variance
The GL SDL expense account (9605/000) shows R3,890.00 but the EMP201 returns and IRP5 totals both show SDL of R4,473.00. The difference of R583.00 suggests that SDL was incorrectly posted in Pastel for one or more months. Likely a month where SDL was posted to the wrong account. Review the monthly SDL journal entries in Pastel.

The GL HP account shows less interest than the amortisation schedule. This is typically because Pastel posts the full instalment to the HP account without splitting interest from capital. Journal 2 above corrects this — posting the interest portion to the income statement.

Trade-in price of R250,000 is less than both the original cost (R384,565) and the SARS tax base (R391,283). There is no recoupment and no capital gain. The accounting profit of R66,446 is taxable as normal income (not a capital gain). The HP liability must also be settled.

⚠️
Recoupment arises because the selling price (R350,000) exceeds the SARS tax base (R202,500). SARS requires the R147,500 difference to be included as gross income in the year of disposal — this "recoupment" represents W&T previously claimed that must now be given back. The recoupment is taxed at the full corporate rate (27%), not CGT. Post correcting journal to derecognise asset and raise tax liability.

Three-layer tax analysis required: (1) Recoupment R76,500 included in gross income at 27% = R20,655 tax. (2) Capital gain R350,000 × 80% inclusion rate = R280,000 included in taxable income × 27% = R75,600 effective CGT. Note: Land disposal is CGT only (no W&T ever claimed on land). Small Business Relief: If entity qualifies as small business with assets < R10m market value, partial CGT exclusion may apply.
ℹ️
The disposal register corresponds to the 20 PL sheet in the ACT workbook — "Profit with sale of assets (Carrying value)". Each disposal is listed by asset class with cost, accumulated depreciation, carrying value, selling price, and profit/loss on sale.

ℹ️
Three possible tax outcomes on disposal — can occur simultaneously. The 50 Cur sheet in ACT workbook has lines for: accounting profit on sale, recoupment (s8(4)), and capital gain (8th Schedule). All three must be populated correctly in the tax computation.
Scenario 1 — Selling price < Tax base
Selling price is below what SARS has already allowed as wear-and-tear. No recoupment, no CGT. Accounting profit/loss flows to P&L as normal income.
✅ No tax consequence
Scenario 2 — Tax base < Selling price ≤ Cost
Recoupment (s8(4) ITA): The excess of selling price over tax base is "recouped" — SARS treats this as gross income because wear-and-tear previously claimed is recovered. Taxed at full corporate rate (27%). No CGT arises.
Recoupment = Selling price − SARS tax base
Tax = Recoupment × 27%
Post to: 50 Cur — "Recoupment on sale of assets"
Scenario 3 — Selling price > Original cost
Both recoupment AND CGT arise. Recoupment = full W&T previously claimed (cost − tax base). Capital gain = proceeds − original cost. Companies: 80% of capital gain included in taxable income × 27% = effective CGT rate 21.6%.
Recoupment = Cost − Tax base → taxed @ 27%
Cap gain = Proceeds − Cost → × 80% × 27%
Small biz relief: assets < R10m market value

Involuntary disposals (theft, fire, damage): special rules under s11(4A) allow deferral if insurance proceeds are reinvested in a replacement asset within 12 months. Document the replacement and notify SARS if proceeds exceed cost of replacement.
ℹ️
The method of disposal must be documented for audit purposes. Ensure the method is appropriate for the asset value and type, and that an authorised signatory has approved the disposal before the asset leaves the entity.
