Cecile says: 26 June 2014 at 8:47 Yes and it is for a retrenchment. I made the payment as a lumpsum under code 3901, but I have established that I needed a tax directive. If I don't apply for a tax directive now, what is the implications. The employee earn an average of R14 000 per month and has never been retrenched. My logic tells me the severence pay will probably be tax free. I loaded the leave days and pro rata bonus as usual and tax were paid on this as usual. |
