Been offered a job in South Africa but will be paid to a offshore bank account do I need to pay tax?

Posted 23 July 2013

Employer is a large international company with offices in SA. I will be living and working full time in SA. They are not deducting PAYE at source and they are paying me in GBP to an offshore account of my choosing. Do I still need to pay tax in South Africa?

How does the rental tax on a first property, paid in cash, work?

Posted 23 July 2013

I currently live with my parents, on their property. I am looking at purchasing an apartment for R650 000 and renting it out. I have been given the option of paying for this in cash and then paying my family back at their low bond rate of 6.5% (prime -2%).

The property will be rented out for R5500. The expenses on the property (rates and levys) are R1800. So the rental income would be R3700pm. This R3700 as well as another R4300 will be paid monthly to my parents (total R8000pm).

Hi Tim, We are two employers that works in a small company, and after one and a half years we found out that our employer did not pay or fill out the necessary documentation for our tax. We would like to sort this out ourselves as soon as possible - where do we start? Will there be any penalties? How can we work out what this will be?

Or do SARS first have to check this and possibly do an audit before they take my total ...
