What Can a Public Officer Do? 26th November 2022 Most of us have never heard of a public officer, especially if we aren’t in the corporate world, which could lead to the question; what can a public officer do? The world of a public officer is one that is very serious, and they play an exceptionally important role in a company, taking on the sole responsibility for all the tax affairs of the company. Would you want SARS as your ultimate boss? They’re pretty frightening if you don’t behave in the way they expect you to if you have sole responsibility for all tax affairs for your company, of that you can be certain. One wrong step and you could cost your company more penalties than they’d be happy with, pay one tax bill too late and that’s where the trouble begins. Being a public officer definitely means taking a proactive approach towards all your responsibilities and communications with SARS, which keeps your company in good standing. What can a public officer do? A public officer can register you, the company owner, as an employer, as well as register you as a tax payer.  There are other registrations or, if necessary, de-registrations involved in what a public officer can do, such as VAT, PAYE, UIF, Income Tax, as well as the submission of every form of tax return, such as annual and provisional tax returns. In additions to this, a public officer will also be responsible for the company’s monthly employees’ tax declarations and reconciliations. The major role in all that a public officer does is to make sure that they submit and pay all taxes due to SARS on time. Late submissions or late payments will inevitably lead to penalties, which can be pretty stiff, depending on which tax has been neglected. The public officer is the open channel of communication between SARS and the company, keeping them updated on any changes that take place within the company. This can include verifying bank details, accepting notices that may be served against a company, keeping SARS updated on any changes to the registered address or even a name change. Must you have a public officer? That’s an unequivocal yes in South Africa! If you open for business and have already been trading for one month, it’s time to register a public officer with SARS. The same applies to any company that acquires a company office in South Africa, within the same time frame.

Can a Public Officer Be Removed? 26th November 2022 Let’s start with what a public officer is, before we move on to the question; can a public officer be removed? A public officer is the primary contact person with SARS, who considers the public officer to be the person responsible for all tax related issues to do with a business. A public officer has to be registered with the South African Revenue Services, who will either approve or not of your chosen representative, considering that everything done tax-wise by your public officer, is deemed to have been carried out by your company. This means that the position of public officer in any company is one that comes with a tremendous amount of responsibility and trust, on the part of the owners or directors, and it is definitely a position to consider well before applying for it. Being accountable to SARS in terms of all the tax matters pertaining to the company, and having the authority to act on behalf of the company, shows how important the role of a public officer really is. Can a public officer be removed? Like any position of extreme responsibility and trust, it stands to reason that if a public officer is not performing the duties expected of him or her, and bringing the company into disrepute, or costing the company money due to penalties for late payments or non-payments of taxes, a public officer can be removed from their position. How this happens will depend on the individual company’s legalities and approach towards removing someone from such an important position.  There are always steps that have to be followed, from a legal standpoint, when anyone is fired from their position, however, that again depends on the company’s internal disciplinary procedures. If we look at just a few of the duties a public officer is responsible for, it’ll be easier to understand that if taxes are paid late or aren’t paid, and penalties are incurred, the public officer obviously has to go: Income Tax, VAT, UIF, PAYE Registrations, including, should it be necessary, de-registration of these Payment of all taxes due to SARS on time. If payments are late, there will be penalties incurred Submitting of annual & provisional tax returns, employee monthly tax declarations & reconciliations, dividends tax Keeping SARS updated with any change that may occur with the registered particulars of the company, such as the address, name change, acceptance of notices that may be served against the company and verification of bank details Who wins & who loses with SARS in the end, when mistakes are made? SARS has the power to collect any tax debt a company has run up due to failure to be proactive with their tax payments and registrations, so much so, that they can collect this debt from the shareholders, the public officer, anyone involved in doing anything wo help the company hide assets in order to avoid allowing SARS to collect the debt, and finally, anyone who is regularly involved in managing the financial affairs in an overall position. There is no way around it. SARS expects companies to appoint a public officer within a month of starting to carry out business, or having secured business premises in South Africa. If any company neglects to do this, the penalties start, accruing every day, until the public officer is registered with SARS! Contact Kilgetty Public Officer Services today, to find out more about how they can streamline a tailored plan for all your public officer requirements.

Why Does a Company Need a Public Officer? 27th December 2022 If you’re starting a new company in South Africa, you’ve probably already come across the job title of Public Officer, and may be asking the million-dollar question; why does a company need a public officer? Well, a public officer is a very important person in any company, and in the eyes of the South African Revenue Service (SARS), the public officer is responsible for all tax-related issues in the company. In fact, according to the South African Tax Administration Act, no company can operate or have an office in South Africa for longer than a month, without appointing a public officer. SARS plays such a major role in enforcing the appointment of a public officer, that the person applying for the position as public officer has to be approved by SARS, and the appointee also has to reside in South Africa. SARS wants to be able to have one contact person and one face to put to all the tax affairs of all companies registered in South Africa, which is what makes the role of public officer one that is extremely important. Why does a company need a public officer? Every company needs a public officer in order to carry out all the tax duties on behalf of the company, as well as being the name used by SARS for any correspondence with the company, and for acceptance of notices, if necessary. Every action carried out in their role as a public officer is considered by the South African Revenue Services to have been carried out by the company itself, which is a hefty responsibility that requires a proactive approach to all tax-related duties. If a company fails to appoint a public officer within the prescribed one-month period, or fails to notify SARS of a change in public officer, the Commissioner has far reaching powers to designate a director, company secretary or member (in respect of a CC) as public officer. When one considers that registrations, submissions and payments of taxes such as PAYE, UIF, VAT and annual tax returns for instance, don’t all fall on the same dates, it’s easy to see why having one person handle this role makes life much easier. Some are monthly, yearly or quarterly submissions and payments, and trying to run a business, or to start one, while trying to juggle just a few of these tax balls, could be an utter disaster! This is why every company needs a public officer; a face that SARS can recognize as the person responsible for all tax registrations, de-registrations, submissions and payments, as well as the person responsible for all correspondence, whether via snail mail or online portals. Consider starting on the right foot with Kilgetty Public Officer Services!

Public Officer Duties 27th December 2022 Before we get to what Public Officer Duties consist of, we need to understand the very important role a public officer plays in any company, especially with regard to the Income Tax Act and the South African Revenue Services (SARS). In fact, every company that’s registered in South Africa is required by SARS to appoint a public officer, and that appointment has to be carried out within one month of beginning to carry out business. The same applies for any company that rents or buys an office in South Africa. So strict is this expectation, that if a company fails to appoint a public officer on their own account, the Commissioner at SARS can designate either a member (if it’s a CC), a company secretary or director, to serve as public officer for the company. Should a company fail to appoint a public officer, or change their public officer without notifying SARS within the time period as stipulated by the Commissioner, the company could start accumulating administrative non-compliance penalties, which is the last thing any company needs in the current economic climate. Ultimately, the public officer is viewed by SARS as the tax-face of the company, and is held responsible for all tax-related registrations, de-registrations, submissions and tax payments. Public officer duties Not only does the public officer of any company carry all tax-related issues on their shoulders, they are also held accountable for all the duties they carry out, as if those actions have been carried out by the company. A public officer has to be a person that is approved of by SARS, and they have to reside in South Africa, both of which are very important points. There is so much on the plate of any public officer, so we’ll take a peek at the tip of the ice-berg here when it comes to public officer duties, which include, inter alia; Your registration as an employer Your registration as a taxpayer Submission of employees’ tax monthly declarations Submission of employees’ annual tax returns Submission of annual tax returns Submission of provisional tax returns All tax registrations, which include VAT, Income Tax, PAYE, SDL (Skills Development Levy) and UIF Maintaining a proactive, timeous payment of all the above-mentioned taxes due to SARS, in order to retain a stable reputation and to avoid costly penalties Notification of any change of company particulars as registered with SARS, such as a change of address or company name, as well as verification of banking details Acceptance of any notices that may be served against your company by SARS By now there can be no doubt that you understand the extremely important role played by a public officer in South Africa, because what you see above really cannot begin to cover the full extent of a public officer’s duties. What a daunting career choice this would be for most of us, which makes one most grateful there are people able to create magic out of numbers and tax affairs, to keep our company’s on the straight and narrow!

Assessing the Role of a Public Officer in Regards to Tax Planning 27th January 2023 In terms of assessing the role of a Public Officer in regards to Tax Planning, it is essential to recognise that the role of public officer in any company is one of extreme importance in tax planning, and in maintaining a good record with the South African Revenue Services (SARS). It also goes towards your reputation if you have shareholders, as well as with clients and investors, none of whom would want to deal with a company that has a bad reputation with SARS, since it has a ripple effect on every aspect of the business. The public officer is the tax face of your business, and is the person responsible for maintaining a good relationship taxwise with SARS, in terms of ensuring that all necessary registrations are done on time, that all submissions are submitted when required, and that all tax payments are received by SARS timeously. Assessing the role of a Public Officer in regards to tax planning Because the role of a public officer is such a wide ranging role, it is essential that the person appointed to this position has the necessary knowledge and skill to balance all the tax matters of the company in a proactive manner, ensuring that penalties aren’t incurred due to late payments or submissions. A public officer has to be a natural person who is a resident of South Africa, and SARS has to approve of the person who is appointed to the position as well. He or she will be responsible for seeing to all the tax affairs of the company, which means that the public officer will be regarded by SARS as the person answerable for all the tax duties and affairs that are expected to be carried out by the company. The public officer is responsible for, among other duties; Registering the company owner as taxpayer Registering the company owner as an employer Submission of annual tax returns Submission of provisional tax returns Registration for VAT Submission of employee’s tax monthly declarations and annual returns Maintaining and attending to any and all tax registrations and/or de-registrations such as Income Tax, PAYE, UIF, VAT and SDL Notification of any address changes Notification of bank account changes Acceptance of notices served against the company Proactive planning of tax matters As you can see from just a few of the responsibilities placed on the shoulders of a public officer, it is essential for the person in this important position to take a proactive approach to maintaining a good reputation for the company with SARS, in terms of planning tax matters. None of these submissions, registrations and payments are done at the same time. Some are quarterly, monthly, yearly and so on, which means that if the public officer lets the ball drop, there could be costly repercussions, which may include penalties imposed by SARS. This is a role that can only be handled by one dedicated person, in order to keep the tax affairs of your company streamlined, and to maintain your reputation with all concerned.

What are the Benefits of Investing in Public Officer Services? 27th January 2023 Considering that every company is required by the Tax Administration Act of 2008 to appoint a public officer within one month of starting to either conduct business or acquire premises in South Africa, one can see the importance of the role placed on appointing a public officer by the South African Revenue Services (SARS). In addition to this, if a company doesn’t appoint a public officer in the stipulated time period, the Commissioner can and will designate either a member (if it’s a CC), a director or company secretary as public officer. This could cause major problems, since all the tax related issues are complicated, because they involve a range of tax registrations, submissions and tax payments, for which the person designated may not be equipped to manage. It is for this reason that one person is appointed to be the tax face of the company in the eyes of SARS, so that they deal with one person on all tax related matters, including the receipt of notices that may be served against the company, as well as all submissions and payments. All of these conditions lead to the question; what are the benefits of investing in public officer services? What are the benefits of investing in Public Officer Services? Aside from the fact that the Commissioner can appoint someone who may not be qualified to manage all tax related matters for the company, failure to appoint a public officer could also result in hefty penalties, which increase by the day, including failure to inform SARS of any change in public officer. This is the person who will be held responsible by SARS for all the tax matters of the company, and whatever this person does or doesn’t do, will be considered to have been done by the company itself.
