My IRP5 is incorrect - can I edit it myself on eFiling?
Posted 17 March 2022
SARS code 3601 on my IRP5 is incorrect - my employer is saying I received more than I actually got paid. My salary on my IRP5 (source code 3601) is R100 000, I then got deducted R25 000 PAYE, but when I actually got paid I only received R49 000 into my bank account. There are no other deductions on the IRP5.
Can I modify it myself on SARS e-filing? This was a once-off payment for work done, but it now seems that my employer underpaid the actual salary.

The PAYE refund, if any, will be paid into my company. How do I show the tax on my salary in my individual tax return? If I...
