    • If the company has failed to submit an income tax return for the year ending during 2009 and onwards; and
    • If the company fails to furnish a return of income within 21 days of the date of issuing the final demand.

The Administrative Penalty will range from R250 to R16000 (South African Rand) for each month for which non-compliance continues, subject to a maximum of 35 months.
