What is an ITR12 Tax Return? A Simple Guide
An ITR12 is the official form that individuals use to submit their annual tax return to SARS. On this form, you declare all your income for the tax year (from 1 March to 28/29 February). This includes your salary (from your IRP5), any freelance or business income, rental income, and investment income. You also list all your allowable deductions, like contributions to a retirement annuity, medical aid expenses, and travel allowances. SARS then compares the tax you’ve already paid with the tax you should have paid, which results in either a refund or a payment due.
