Pick the level of support your business needs today: every plan is month-to-month, with no lock-in contract. South African clients are billed in Rand; international clients in the US, UK and Canada are billed a flat monthly rate in their own currency.
Package pricing outside South Africa is a fixed monthly rate in that currency, set to match typical market pricing there, not a currency conversion. Add-ons and once-off items are South African statutory services (SARS/CIPC) and remain billed in ZAR.
Our compliance work centres on South African SARS and CIPC filings, so if you're used to the IRS or the CRA, some of that vocabulary below will look unfamiliar. Here's how it lines up.
Our team includes accountants experienced with IRS (USA) and CRA (Canada) filing requirements alongside our South African SARS/CIPC work, so international clients get support in terms they recognise. This table is a general reference, not a substitute for advice on your specific filing situation.
| Concept | South Africa (SARS) | USA (IRS) | Canada (CRA) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tax return | ITR12 (individuals) / ITR14 (companies) | Form 1040 | T1 General |
| Tax year | 1 March to end of February | 1 January to 31 December | 1 January to 31 December |
| Filing deadline | Varies by taxpayer type | 15 April | 30 April (self-employed: 15 June) |
| Tax authority | SARS | IRS | CRA |
| Employment income slip | IRP5 | W-2 | T4 |
| Other income slip | IT3 certificate | 1099 | T4A / T5 |
| Assessment notice | ITA34 | No separate notice, just refund/bill | Notice of Assessment (NOA) |
| Online filing system | SARS eFiling | IRS e-file | NETFILE / EFILE |
| Withholding on salary | PAYE | Federal / state withholding | Payroll withholding |
Most US states also levy their own state income tax (a few, like Texas and Florida, don't), so some taxpayers file two returns a year. South Africa and Canada have no equivalent state/provincial income tax return.

Yes. South African clients are invoiced in Rand. International clients are invoiced a flat monthly package fee in USD, GBP or CAD, set to typical market pricing in that currency rather than a Rand conversion.
