2020 is gradual rounding up; one crucial question you should be asking is:
How can I ensure that 2021 is an effective and efficient year for myself, my business and my organisation?
One of the many ways to achieve an amazing year ahead is to prepare a tax calendar for you and your organization.
To begin with, planning of the year ahead is crucial in order to avoid missing tax deadlines and paying avoidable penalties both for yourself and your organisation. It is always important to categorize your important documents by the tax year as you combine all the receipts, income statements, and other documents you need to get ready for your filings. This makes fulfilling your tax obligations which include: tax filing and remittances easier and enables you to ensure seamless tax procedures and process in 2021.
As explained in our previous publications, the first quarter (Q1) of every year is termed the ‘Personal Income Tax Filing Season’. What happens in the tax space during the P.A.Y.E (Pay-As-You-Earn) and PIT (Personal Income Tax) filing returns process. In our article ‘What Is Your 2021 Tax Strategy – How To Stay Ahead of The PAYE Filing Returns Process’ all the details pertaining to PAYE and PIT have been expatiated.
The PAYE filing returns relates to employers in paid employment. Employers should take note of this as the obligation lies on the employer. The PIT fillings returns process relates to self-employed individuals.
