What is the TaxTim Voucher?

In short? It’s a 100% discount voucher that gives you access to TaxTim’s ITR12 tax return service—whether you're a side hustler or a full-time freelancer.

TaxTim takes the confusing parts of filing taxes and turns it into a step-by-step Q&A. It’s like having a tax consultant in your pocket—except you don’t have to pay them per hour. Just pop in your info, follow the prompts, and your return gets submitted accurately and on time.

Your Voucher Details

If you're on the Serious Business plan, check your inbox for an email from us titled:
"🎁 Your 100% TaxTim Voucher Inside!"

Inside, you'll find something like this:

Your Voucher Code: EXAMPLE2F1ZQ  
Valid Until: 30 June 2026  
Use for: Any TaxTim ITR12 service (Lite, Smart, or Ultra)  

How To Use It:

  1. Go to taxtim.com

  2. Click "Get Started"

  3. Answer the easy setup questions

  4. Enter your voucher code at the payment step

That’s it. You’re good to go!


Timing Is Everything

Let’s break it down so you don’t miss your window:

Taxpayer Type Tax Season Runs Voucher Deadline Impact
Non-provisional taxpayers 1 July – 30 Oct 2025 Submit before October to avoid penalties
Provisional taxpayers 1 July – 30 Jan 2026 Submit before Jan 2026 to stay penalty-free

 

Yes, your voucher is valid for 12 months from the day it’s issued—but if you submit after tax season, you might get slapped with a late submission admin penalty from SARS. So use it early, submit on time, and keep your refund (not the fine).

 

Non-Provisional vs Provisional Taxpayers

  • Non-provisional taxpayers make their contributions to SARS via PAYE deducted off their paycheck and only have to submit an income tax return (ITR12) for each tax year.
  • Provisional taxpayers are people who earn income other than a salary / remuneration on which no income tax has been deducted/withheld.

 


Things You Should Know

✅ Voucher is valid for one use only
✅ Can be used on any of TaxTim’s ITR12 services: Lite, Smart, or Ultra
Only you (the Serious Business account holder) may use it
🚫 Not refundable or exchangeable
🚫 Once it’s used or expired, it’s done


So… What If You’re Not On Serious Business?

You’re missing out. Plain and simple.

With Serious Business, you’re not just getting this TaxTim voucher. You’re also unlocking:

💼 5 invoice templates

🧾 Unlimited client management

💸 R500/month towards your retirement annuity

👩 Two financial advisor sessions per year

🧠 Deeper insights into other freelancers company reviews with The Scoop

 


Pro Tip

The TaxTim benefit alone is worth more than your next month’s subscription. So if you’re still on a Free or Motivated plan, this is your sign. Make the upgrade. Run your freelance biz like the serious business it is.

 


Final Thoughts

You didn’t become a freelancer to stress about taxes. You became one to own your time and build something real.

This TaxTim voucher is your shortcut to tax confidence—without the spreadsheets, headaches, or hidden costs.
