Salary / IRP5 Posts in Tax Q&A

What do I do if I don't have a tax reference number but have been working for a few years?



What do I do if I don't have a tax reference number but have been working for a few years?
The company I was first employed to took my documents to register at SARS, however I left a little while after that. Now at my new employer, 2 years later, I notice that my tax number is missing from my IRP5.
It seems I have not been registered. I have not filed taxes since then however I am on PAYE and tax is deducted monthly.
Am I in big trouble?
