Are you still accounting like your limit is R1 Million? 🛑

If your South African business is sitting in that exciting growth sweet spot, SARS recently handed you a massive strategic crossroads - and most founders are missing the nuance.

As of April 1, 2026, the compulsory VAT registration threshold has officially jumped from R1 million to R2.3 million. On top of that, the qualifying threshold for Turnover Tax has mirrored this shift, meaning the first R600,000 of turnover is now 100% tax-free. This isn’t just an administrative update. It’s a cash flow game-changer. If your annual turnover sits between R1M and R2.3M, you are now facing a major strategic decision:

🔹 Option A: Apply to Deregister for VAT. If you mainly serve everyday consumers (B2C), deregistering allows you to strip the 15% VAT off your pricing or absorb it into your margins, giving you an instant cash flow or competitive boost. Plus, you cut your administrative paperwork in half.

🔹 Option B: Stay Registered Voluntarily. If your primary clients are large corporates (B2B), they expect tax invoices so they can claim input VAT. Deregistering could unintentionally make you look "too small" or disrupt your corporate supply chain.

The takeaway? There is no one-size-fits-all answer. The R2.3M shift requires a hard look at your client base, your margins, and your 12-month growth forecast.

👇 Let’s spark a conversation in the comments: If your business falls into this new bracket, are you planning to deregister to breathe life into your margins, or are you staying registered to keep your corporate clients happy? Want to figure out which side of the R2.3M line benefits your bottom line most?
Let’s map out your strategy.

Is your business on track, or just on autopilot? ✈️

It’s May. The "new year, new goals" energy of March has started to fade, and the day-to-day grind has officially taken over. But here is the reality check: We are already two months into the South African financial year. Do you actually know where your money went in Q1? 💸

Most business owners operate with a "Tax Return" Mindset. They look into the rearview mirror, checking the numbers only when it’s time to file. That’s not strategy—that’s history. To scale, you need a "Coaching" Mindset.

The HM Accounting Edge: We bridge the gap between "where you were" and "where you’re going" by blending:

• Xero: For real-time, transparent data you can trust.
• AI: To analyze trends and provide rapid growth insights.
• Human Touch: Expert coaching to help you pivot and make high-level decisions.

Don’t wait until February to see if you made a profit. Let’s look at your Q1 numbers together now while there is still time to adjust the sails.

Think your crypto trades are "off the grid"? Think again.

Starting 1 March 2026, the new CARF (Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework) rules mean SARS will no longer rely solely on you to declare your gains. Instead, crypto exchanges and service providers will report your transactions directly to them. 📊

What SARS will see:
✅ Every buy, sell, and swap.
✅ Wallet-to-wallet transfers.
✅ The Rand value of every move you make.

The Big Shift: If you’ve been "wait-and-see" about declaring your crypto, the window is closing. SARS is aligning with global OECD standards to ensure total transparency.
At HM Accounting, we don’t just help you file; we help you navigate the complexity of crypto taxation - whether it’s capital gains from a long-term hold or revenue from active trading and staking.
