What is an IRP5? I worked last year for seven months and my salary before tax was R16777. I have never submitted a tax return before and am pretty sure I am under the threshold but I want a refund, but have no idea what to do. I didn't receive medical aid or any benefits. Please help.

The tax threshold last year was R73,650. If you earned above this amount, you should have had tax deducted from your salary.

Please use ourTax refund calculator to see if you are due one.

Please also read our blog on Returns, Rebates and Refunds for further understanding.

Let TaxTim assist you to complete and submit your tax return to SARS.
