What is an IRP6 SARS?

An IRP6 SARS is a return for provisional tax payment issued by the South African Revenue Service (SARS) to provisional taxpayers. An IRP6 SARS contains the following information:

An IRP6 SARS reconciles the provisional tax payments with the normal tax liability for the applicable assessment year. On assessment, the provisional discharges will be offset against the liability for standard tax for the concerned year of assessment.

Who must submit IRP6?

According to the Income Tax Act, No.58 of 1962, a provisional taxpayer is any person who receives income (or to whom income accrues) other than remuneration or from an employer not registered for employees’ tax. Provisional taxpayers are individuals or companies earning income from interest, dividends, rental, business, etc. Note that most salary earners are not provisional taxpayers if they have no other sources of income.

A provisional taxpayer must submit two provisional tax returns (IRP6) during the tax year and make the applicable payment thereon. The first provisional tariff return must be forwarded within the first six months of the tariff year. On the other hand, the second provisional tax return must be forwarded at the end of the tariff assessment year. A third payment is optional after the end of the tax year but before the issuing of the assessment by SARS.

There are some exceptions to the definition of a provisional taxpayer, such as approved public benefit organizations, recreational clubs, body corporates, share block companies, certain associations of persons, non-resident owners or charterers of ships or aircraft, natural persons who do not earn any income from carrying on any business or whose taxable income is below the tax threshold or R30 000, small business funding entities, deceased estates, and certain associations approved by the Commissioner.
