Make sure that the Farmers flag in the tax tab of the client file has been checked.
The calculation of farmer tax is subject to average. In order to put this into effect the system must calculate provisional tax on the rating amount which will come from the last assessment.
Where the taxpayer is a farmer the assessments data entry will have an additional field to enter as the rating amount. The rating amount will be kept on the ledger page. We refer you to changes in the way provisional tax is processed in particular in regard to the SARS Estimate and Taxpayer Estimate. The SARS Estimate in eFiling will not take into account the rating amount.
Note that farmers (individuals) now have to process the first provisional tax payment for the first time from the year 2004.
The amount shown as the rating can be edited if need be.
The average method does not have to be used as the normal method can be used.
