PAYE for employee with 2 employers

Posted 5 February 2016

I am sharing a secretary between me and a colleague. We are working in the same office. We pay her a total of R8000 p. M (R4000 each). Obviously PAYE should be deducted based on her total yearly income (R96000) and paid to SARS before the 7th of each month. Is it fine for me and my colleague to split the PAYE and UIF contributions and pay those separately to SARS, and issue her one payslip between us? If so, does she need two IRP5s issued?

Posted 2 February 2016

I registered and wanted to buy one of your packages in order to ask more questions but not sure what to buy.

My husband and I are in Christian ministry and mostly receive donations from people who are friends that have nothing to do with our ministry and do not receive ministry from us that could be seen as service rendered. They can and some have also stopped supporting at any time without notice...
