Tax season can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to.

In this episode, I sit down with tax expert Marisca de Bruyn to break down the things you actually need to know. From provisional vs non-provisional tax and auto-assessments, to deductions, keeping your receipts and what SARS knows about your crypto.

We also chat about common mistakes that can cost you money, how to stay on top of your tax admin, and a few simple things you can do throughout the year to make next tax season a little easier.

If tax makes your head spin, this one’s for you.
