Can Business Entertainment Expenses Be Claimed Against Tax?

SARS has strict rules regarding entertainment expenses for both income tax deductions and VAT, and a claim for entertainment expenses will likely be flagged for investigation by SARS. This is why it’s crucial to have a solid understanding of what can and can't be claimed.

We encourage you to rely on our expert oversight before claiming. This is the best way of ensuring your tax position is verified and you have adequate proof that the claims are for legitimate business expenses.

The Exit You Might Not Have Considered: Selling Your Company to Your Employees

For South African business owners, selling to your employees can offer something a traditional buyer often cannot: a lasting legacy.

Through employee share ownership schemes, broad-based trusts and B-BBEE ownership structures, founders can reward loyal staff, preserve their company's culture and create a structured exit. Success, however, depends on getting the financial, tax and legal foundations right. Here’s how to do it.

Your business has its own money. Your personal life has its own money.

And mixing the two?

That's where things can get messy.

Keeping business and personal finances separate makes it easier to:

✔️ Track business income and expenses
✔️ Keep accurate financial records
✔️ Monitor your business cash flow
✔️ Simplify your accounting
✔️ Understand how your business is actually performing

And no… putting “business stuff” on your personal card doesn't magically make it a business expense. Separate accounts = fewer headaches.

Increasingly convincing, these messages are causing unnecessary distress and raising the risk of being scammed.

Here’s a timely Cybersecurity Awareness Month refresher on how to spot a SARS scam and what to do if you receive one. Our top suggestion? Simply check in with our team for peace of mind.

What accountants often see behind the scenes
We often see…

One ignored SARS letter.
Then another.
Then a penalty.
Then another penalty.

And suddenly that little letter that was sitting quietly in your inbox has become a much bigger problem.

Ignoring a SARS notice rarely makes it disappear. If you receive correspondence from SARS, open it, understand what it's asking for and take action before a small issue becomes an expensive one.

And if you're not sure what it means?

That's what your accountant is there for. Don't let one ignored letter become a very expensive sequel. 😉

If your accountant only hears from you once a year… 👀

…it may already be tax season.

Your accountant can do a lot more for you when they know what's happening throughout the year — not just when the tax deadline is suddenly staring you in the face.

Regular communication can help you:

✔️ Stay on top of deadlines
✔️ Spot potential issues earlier
✔️ Keep your records organised
✔️ Plan ahead instead of playing catch-up

Your accountant shouldn't only meet you when there's a deadline involved. 😉

Stay informed. Stay organised. Stay ahead.

Your October 2026 Tax Deadlines

October is here — and unfortunately, the deadlines aren't going anywhere. 😉

If you’re a business owner, taxpayer or employer, here are the key dates to keep on your radar:

🔹 07 October — PAYE submissions & payments
🔹 23 October — Personal Income Tax Filing Season closes for non-provisional taxpayers + VAT manual submissions & payments
🔹 29 October — Excise duty payments
🔹 30 October — VAT electronic submissions & payments + CIT provisional tax payments, where applicable

Save this post, add the dates to your calendar and don't leave it until the last minute.

Because “I forgot” is rarely a great tax strategy.
