Confusion with respect to IRP5 given by company and battling with SARS eFiling

  Written by Marc   Posted 24 July 2013

I have gone through the completion of the IRP5 but my question relates to the actual IRP5. Ive been battling to complete it on SARS eFiling because it talks of source codes that are not corresponding. Also wrt my actual IRP5, last year in August I earned commission. This was above my normal monthly salary. My IRP5 form given by my employer does not reflect my monthly earnings only the commission and corresponding source code. I am baffled.

Why did we only get R500 back from SARS?

  Written by Marc   Posted 24 July 2013

My hubby requested that his Co deduct R500 pm extra since August 2012. Total of R500 x 7 = R3500
IRP 5 reads R 173 579 code 3601
R 105 831 code 3605 (This is actually his commission)
PAYE R 49 183.30 code 4102

However we are only getting back R500.30. Why not the R3500?
