My husband works out of the country and in 2013 was in Moz for 63 consecutive days, meaning he shouldn't pay PAYE in SA. How is this worked out in the system?

He has been invoicing the company, who have paid him in SA but there are no payslips or PAYE deductions. Now we are applying for a homeloan, they want payslips.
