My tax position at the end of February 2014 after I received income from two different employers

  Written by Marc   Posted 1 August 2013

Hi Tim

From my permanent employer I received R5000.00 per month which was increased to R5500.00 per month from July 2013. My contract for this job comes to an end half way through January 2014, therefore being 10.5 months of the 2014 tax year. My employer does deduct any amount for PAYE.

From February 2013 to August 2013 (being a 6 month contract) I had a part time job (being a different employer), where I received R3000.00 per month. My employer here deducted R750.00 per month for PAYE....

The IT12 won't open on eFiling

  Written by Marc   Posted 31 July 2013

I can access the account but it wont generate the IT form. I get as far as to click on IT12z, then the screen goes grey and it sticks there. I don't know what software SARS uses and the agents working there don't know either. I just can't complete, calculate and file an IT12 in one go. Either I can't access the account or can't complete the task.
