Question: 

THE NEW TURNOVER FIELD ON THE IRP6
With effect from 2 December 2011, SARS introduced a brand new field – known as turnover field - in the IRP 6 return. The question is what does `turnover’ mean in this context? Is the completion of this brand new field applicable to all provisional tax payers? How accurate must this estimate of turnover be?

Answer: 

The New Turnover field on IRP6 has also been built into the IRP6 return but this field is not compulsory for individual taxpayers. When completing the Turnover field please take note of the following:
• The Turnover field figure is exclusive of VAT
• Other income sources e.g. Investment Income must not be included in this field
