All Things Bookkeeping - Bookkeeping Services South African SMEs Can Trust

CAPE TOWN, South Africa — 9 November 2025 — All Things Bookkeeping helps SMEs stay compliant and year-end ready with practical, done-for-you bookkeeping services covering monthly books, payroll, VAT submissions, management accounts, and catch-ups. The team supports leading cloud tools, including Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and Zoho Books.

Why this matters for you

South African tax deadlines arrive fast. Missing one costs money and focus.
Key dates SMEs track:

• EMP201: submit monthly, by the 7th of the following month (or the preceding Friday when the 7th falls on a weekend or public holiday). 
• EMP501: interim recon 1 Sep–31 Oct; annual recon 1 Apr–31 May.
• VAT: most vendors file every two months under Category A or B; other cycles exist for special cases. 
• Individual filing season (owners and sole props): 2025 windows include 21 Jul–20 Oct for most non-provisional taxpayers. [South African Revenue Service]

• Catch-ups and clean-ups: bring months of paperwork into order so you can move forward.

Outcomes you can expect

A quick self-check

Ask yourself:

• Do your EMP201s tie to payments and your EMP501?
• Are your VAT periods set to the right cycle for your business?
• Can you produce management accounts within 10 days of month-end?
• Are you still chasing slips when you should be planning cash?

If any answer gives you pause, you’re not alone—and you don’t need to fix it alone.
