How do independent contractors get taxed?
Posted 31 March 2022
I will be taking a new job that requires me to be a contractor. There are mixed opinions on how contractors get taxed. The consulting company assures me this is a flat rate of 25%, but on reading SAICA's website I found this little nugget: " If the independent contractor works more than 22 hours a week, he/she must be taxed in terms of the income tax tables".

My IRP5 is incorrect - can I edit it myself on eFiling?
Posted 17 March 2022
SARS code 3601 on my IRP5 is incorrect - my employer is saying I received more than I actually got paid. My salary on my IRP5 (source code 3601) is R100 000, I then got deducted R25 000 PAYE, but when I actually got paid I only received R49 000 into my bank account. There are no other deductions on the IRP5.
Can I modify it myself on SARS e-filing? This was a once-off payment for work done, but it now seems that my employer underpaid the actual salary.
