Receiving a salary from the overseas company-paid in ZAR to the employees. 3. Should the foreign company deduct PAYE or should the employee be responsible for it when submitting their Income Tax in SA. |

TaxTim says: 4 May 2016 at 13:23 If the company is registered as an Employer with SARS in South Africa, then it should be withholding PAYE each month and paying it to SARS. However this seems not to be the case, and therefore the employees will have to register as Provisional taxpayers and pay tax twice a year. If there is tax withheld by the foreign company, assuming there is a double tax treaty agreement, you should able to off-set this tax off against tax paid in SA. |
