I'm currently looking for help with my taxes. I was attempting to do my annual tax returns and realized I hadn't filed for so I'm owing a huge sum. I don't think I filled out those tax returns properly too when that might be contributing too. I have a private company but I operate as a freelancer and some of my clients are international.
I dont even think I earn enough to pay tax as I work for myself. I did however receive a IRP5 from a company that makes use of my services. This IRP5 is confusing as mi imal tax was deducted and the annual gross income figure can not be true. I just dont understand this whole process. I usually did ny own tax as I worked for a company and now that I work for myslef it is complicated. Please send me quotes on how much you will charge to do my taz. Thank you
Hi. We had plans drawn and passed. It was a U shaped house with 2 bedrooms on one side, each with a bathroom,then a lounge/dining area on the other side and a kitchen, and small study along the back. It also has a double garage with a small laundry attached. Ii was about sqm (maybe a bit less) but the quote was way more than I expected. I was looking at spending about +/- R1 . Maybe you can show me another option or maybe it's cheaper to buy? I've seen some very nice townhouses with what I'm asking for, for around R1 .?
I have a Five Star 5kw Inverter and 2 x Revov R 5kw Batteries with 4 x w Canadian Bifacial Panels. Occasionally (on cloudy days) with power outages the batteries will drain completely and when Escom power is restored the inverter won't come back on to allow the batteries to be charge. How can I fix this?
Took my vehicle in for a paint peer repair on the to long the vehicle. About June last year Got vehicle back with damaged dreading and fault speed sensor. Still no repair to date.

I would like to install a Residential Solar System at my new house. I have purchased the property and am waiting for the transfer to take place which should take roughly 3 months. I would like to install the system before moving in. Looking for best pricing on the following including installation and CoC, must include engineering approval of load bearing of the roof: 8kW inverter (Sunsynk or Deye), 2x 5kWh batteries (Lithium Ion or LiFePO4), 8 to 12 Solar Panels (Canadian Solar/ JA Solar / Trina Solar/ Longi).

Looking for a cost-effective and very specifically energy-efficient Granny Flat to build behind his The design should maximize solar PV potential and passive solar gain, while remaining simple, modern, and affordable. The unit will serve as a flexible granny flat/garden cottage, with emphasis on comfort, sustainability, and minimal maintenance. Would you be able to deliver a simple, modern, minimalist design that is affordable to build and maintain. • Optimize solar PV generation and passive solar gain through orientation, roof pitch, and glazing. • Ensure full compliance with City of Cape Town DMS and SANS . • Provide a comfortable 1-bedroom unit with open-plan living/kitchen and efficient plumbing layout for single loo • Incorporate sustainability features (insulation, PV, rainwater/greywater readiness). Key Constraints & Compliance Targets • Footprint: Max 5 m × 5 m external (≈25 m² gross floor area; usable ≈23–24 m²). • Zoning: SR1 – second dwelling as separate structure (DMS Item 25A). • Height: Max 6 m wall plate; max 8 m roof apex. Target ≤6 m wall plate and ≤6.5–7 m overall to minimize risk of objections. • Building Lines: Typically 1.5–3.5 m; confirm via erf survey. • Coverage/Floor Factor: Coverage ~50%, floor factor 1.0. Confirm main dwelling compliance to avoid threshold issues. • Services: Ensure certification of services capacity. Energy & Sustainability • Solar PV: North-facing roof slope at 30–34° pitch to optimize yield (10–18 panels, 4–8 kW). • Passive Solar: Large north glazing with shading overhangs; minimal east/west glazing. • Thermal Comfort: Roof/wall insulation per SANS -XA; cross-ventilation via north-south openings and high vents. • Water Efficiency: Optional rainwater harvesting/greywater system; plumbing provision for future connection. • Utility Space: Allocate cupboard/roof space for inverter and battery. Style & Materials • Form: Single-storey, modern minimalist. • Construction: Brick external walls (thermal mass); lightweight internal partitions (drywall/stud). • Roof: Monopitch (skillion) roof, sloping south-to-north. Metal sheet covering (IBR/corrugated) suitable for PV mounting. • Finishes: Cost-effective, durable, low-maintenance. Floor Plan Concept Orientation: North at top (low roof side). • Bedroom (3 × 3 m): Double bed, wardrobe, large north-facing window/door. • Bathroom (2 × 2 m): Shower, toilet, basin; grouped plumbing with kitchen. • Living/Kitchen (5 × 3 m): Open-plan; kitchenette along south/west wall; sofa, small table, TV. • Entry: West wall door with small porch/verandah (if building lines allow). • Optional: Loft/mezzanine over bathroom (south high side) for storage. Elevations (Conceptual) • North (low side): 5 m wide × ≈3 m high; large glazing for solar gain. • South (high side): 5 m wide × ≈6 m high; minimal glazing, high vents. • East/West: Sloping profile (≈6 m south, ≈3 m north); small high-level windows for ventilation. Must-Haves vs Nice-to-Haves Must-Haves: • Compliance with zoning, height, building lines, and SANS . • Energy efficiency (PV-ready roof, insulation, passive solar). • Compact, functional layout with grouped plumbing. Nice-to-Haves: • Loft storage above bathroom. • Small deck/verandah. • Rainwater harvesting/greywater system. Deliverables Requested • Site plan integration (setbacks, orientation, services). • Floor plans, sections, elevations (scale 1:50/1:). • Roof plan showing solar array layout. • Basic 3D renders/views. • Building plan submission package for City of Cape Town approval. • Energy efficiency notes (SANS compliance). • Indicative cost ranges for construction options (brick vs lightweight frame). • Preliminary concept sketch for early alignment before full submission package. Thank you – I look forward to your expertise in realizing this project
