Should the tax rebate be pro-rated for foreigners starting to work in SA (not immigrating)

Posted 11 February 2016

I foreigners start to work in South Africa & earn South African source income, say, from February 2016. Will they receive their entire tax rebate for 2016 based on only the 1 month's salary? This would imply that they will obviously NOT pay ANY taxes on a salary of up to R73,650 for the month of Feb 2016. Is this correct or should the tax rebate of R13,257 be pro-rated to 1 of 12 months, because they only worked for 1 month of the 12 in the tax year?

PAYE for employee with 2 employers

Posted 5 February 2016

I am sharing a secretary between me and a colleague. We are working in the same office. We pay her a total of R8000 p. M (R4000 each). Obviously PAYE should be deducted based on her total yearly income (R96000) and paid to SARS before the 7th of each month. Is it fine for me and my colleague to split the PAYE and UIF contributions and pay those separately to SARS, and issue her one payslip between us? If so, does she need two IRP5s issued?

PAYE registration for an employee

Posted 1 February 2016

I own a micro business (a company) that's registered for turnover tax. Up until this point I have had no employees so I didn't register for PAYE, UIF, SDL, ETI, etc. Recently I hired my first employee. This employee earns R3500 p. M. So she won't be paying any income tax. Do I need to register her for PAYE, UIF, SDL and ETI even if she falls below the tax threshold? She is 21 years old and meets the requirements for ETI. If I need to register her, how do I do it? Can I benefit from the ETI?

Is it correct to say the marginal tax rate is different to the effective tax rate?

Posted 18 January 2016

Marginal tax rate: Is a person who is taxed at 41% actually taxed at 41%? Because of the fact that there is a primary rebate of R73,650 the tax payer is not taxed on the full amount at 41%. Thus the effective tax rate is less than 41%. Is this correct?
