Cindy says: 11 September 2013 at 12:21 Hi Tim Thanks for your reply but maybe I ask the question incorrectly. The minister said that everyone needs to register with SARS even the lower income group. The call center said everyone needs to be registered, but my accountant said it's not necessary so what now? I'm confused. Do they need to register at SARS and what form is required? Sorry for my ignorance. |

TaxTim says: 12 September 2013 at 12:02 When the tax known as SITE - Standard Income Tax on Employees was still applicable - this was the first R60 000's earnings, then all taxpayers had contribute to this as this amount was over the threshold. Now the threshold is greater than R60 000 and so SITE has been removed. So in that regard there is no need to register the taxpayer. However if SARS conducts an audit of you and questions whether staff are legitimate or not, your employees having a tax number would be very strong evidence because you can provide this as proof. The best would be to ask your employees to register themselves by following the link below: How to get a SARS tax number |
