Paying Tax for Website Earnings?

  Written by Marc   Posted 12 June 2013

Hi Tim

I have a website and I receive an income every month through advertising which is paid to my bank account from overseas every month.

The amount differs each month (how much visits I get, ad company etc.)

How will I pay tax if I earn one month R3000 and one month R10000 (examples).

I don't want to pay a lump sum at the end of the 'tax year' if that is what it is called but would rather pay monthly like when you working in a company, is this possible?...

Depreciation on cars, how does it work?
