Do I need to start paying tax?
Posted 29 January 2016
I would like to know if I need to register for PAYE. I am 25 years old and a part time student. I au pair in the afternoons (R7500 a month salary) and I also do contract work for 2 companies (R1500 and R2500) salary in order to pay for my fees. One of the companies is asking me to get a tax number in order to pay me and I'm worried about doing that as my salary just about covers my expenses and expensive study fees - so I can't afford deductions.

Posted 28 January 2016
I started my business a few years ago, and the accounting firm that I appointed hardly made contact. As I'm not an accountant / bookkeeper / figure orientated wizard, but rather work with tools, I have no idea what is expected. A year ago I approached another bookkeeper and he ended up taking over my books from the previous firm. A month later I had to supply docs for my personal tax submission.

Would I get the refund originally calculated after verification assessment is complete?
Posted 26 January 2016
When I submitted my tax return, I received an ITA34 informing me that I am due a R3 000 tax refund from SARS. Then I received a letter from SARS asking me for supporting documents, for verification assessment, which I had then submitted. Now I receive further correspondence regarding the verification assessment saying that "no adgustment has been made to the assessment". Does this mean I still get my R3 000 tax refund? And if so, by when can I expect payment of this refund?
