Hello Tim,
If I earn R8000 per month and are registered as a full time student but also employed full time and at a permanent post at my employer what will my tax be per month?

Thank you for the reply, I did calculate my PAYE tax but my employer as well as the accountant told me because I am a student my amount payable each month is 25% is this incorrect?

This rate is prescribed by SARS for casual workers who work part time (less than 22 hours per week).
If you are in a full time position you should ask your employer to tax you per the normal tax tables. Either way, when you file your tax return you will obtain a refund for the tax that you have overpaid.
