Annie says: 21 November 2013 at 5:58 Thanks for the reply. It will be a new small business. Just her and another lady working from the UK. No offices in SA but I will be working from home in SA. I will be paid in US dollars or Euros. Not sure yet exact which one. Will have to confirm. |

TaxTim says: 21 November 2013 at 7:43 You should invoice them each month and you will then complete your return in SA using the income generated which you will need to convert to RANDS, unless they pay you in your SA account which then covers the conversion. You will be able to deduct your expenses that are incurred for work purposes in order to reduce your taxable amount. |

Annie says: 21 November 2013 at 7:59 Thanks Tim. Does invoicing them not then mean I am being paid for services rendered and not as an employee of her company? I assume that would make me a contractor? |

Annie says: 21 November 2013 at 8:00 Sorry. Also meant to ask, would I then pay provisional tax? Instead of a monthly amount? |
|
|
TaxTim says: 21 November 2013 at 8:30 Yes you would have to pay provisional tax, otherwise the company will have to register as a employer in South Africa and you are an employee of theirs here in SA. In this way you can then have them deduct monthly PAYE. |

Annie says: 21 November 2013 at 8:52 I read somewhere that provisional tax is not refundable. I currently pay medical aid for my whole family and get a nice refund when tax season opens. Will I now not be able to do this? |

TaxTim says: 21 November 2013 at 8:55 Provisional tax is just tax up front, similar to PAYE, but collected every 6 months. The overall tax paid, if exceeding your tax owing will always be refundable. |
