Mushy says: 15 January 2016 at 11:03 I am a foreign student studying in South Africa, I got a part time job earning about R20,000. I resigned after 2yrs 8months. I was informed there is a provident fund I was to collect. The company was deducting tax from me every month. Was I supposed to pay tax? And will this affect the tax directive for me to receive my provident fund |
TaxTim says: 15 January 2016 at 13:09 Yes you were supposed to pay tax, the company would have been deducting the correct amount - you should actually file a tax return because there should be a refund for you given you only worked 8 months in the last year. This will not affect your provident fund payout however. |
