Retrenchment pay-out tax code

  Written by Marc   Posted 1 November 2012

During the 2012 tax year I received a retrenchment pay-out. It is reflected on my IRP5 with tax code 3907. According to the tax code definition I got off the SARS website 3907 is defined as: "Other lump sums (e.g. backdated salaries extended over previous tax years, not approved funds)."

Tax code 3901 is defined as: "Gratuities (retirement / retrenchment)."

Does it matter that the code seems to be incorrect on my IRP5, is there a tax implication?

  Written by Marc   Posted 31 October 2012

I earn R8500 a month, which is the most I've ever earned. My boss keeps my salary low because he says that way I won't pay tax. I am so ignorant. Am I breaking the law or is my boss?

In fact, everyone working for him isn't registered with SARS. Isn't there a form you're supposed to have at ...
