Officialee said: 23 November 2015 at 12:36 Yes I work at their office; I have a "boss" so would that count as being managed? |

TaxTim Marc said: 23 November 2015 at 17:02 Based on the arrangement you have described, it sounds like you would be perceived to be an "employee" by SARS and therefore your client should be withholding PAYE from your salary on a monthly basis. It would be best to discuss this with them. |
